If it left at 7:25pm (instead of the current 5:25pm) then the return flight to EWR would be delayed (the plane does CLE-CDG-EWR daily, it seems). And while a 9am departure from CDG doesn't do much for me, I'm sure that there are some who like that early flight. If the plane just went out and back then it could go a couple hours later, but with the aircraft routing that CO uses I guess that they see more value in getting the EWR flight out later than the CLE flight.
