Still, should be interesting to see how this route does and how the load factor/price works; YMM may see below average load factor until a shut-down called and then the tidal wave will swamp what availability there is. Could be very different yield management game compared to other routes.
I agree on the low load factor, but I suspect this will start out as seasonal and perhaps revert to a weekly service in the winter. There is so much planned construction and expansion under way at YMM, if AC manages to maintain a presence on the route, loads will grow over time.
