I know this...but what makes this situation odd is the fact that this flight either sells out F at least a week before departure (so EUA is not a factor) which is a very rare occurence, or the FC cabin remains at least 70% empty until the first EUA run.
Why I am questioning this situation is due to the flight being wide open in FC on a leisure route which rarely sells out FC or even close...so it appears odd that EUA is being held back.
My question: is this on purpose? (unlikely due to FC being wide open) or a system glitch that just skipped over this flight. It's not big deal...I'm just curious what powers are at play here.
