PIT-FLL nonstop sold out every day?
Hey all
the only NS PIT-FLL is showing sold out every day in September (checked Sep 3-11). Is this a MAX cancellation, glitch, or is PIT-FLL really that popular in September?
6/28 update: PIT-FLL weekdays has been removed from the schedule. FLL-PIT has not.

A guess... and ONLY a guess.
Maybe they are thinking of dropping that flight due to load factors... and or it is high on the list to be dropped due to equipment shortage (max).
I am guessing that they have a list of city pairs ranked by ability to drop and have to work through them.

They keep cancelling PIT-LAX due to Max 8 problems. Taking PIT-FLL off the schedule would really surprise me though

Don't know if it is a MAX problem. But, right now there is one NS PIT>FLL showing for each Saturday and Sun (9/7 & 9/8) and neither are sold out.

The second half of August, and then September and October have lower demand than other times of the year to central and southern Florida. Hurricane season, kids back in school (by August), beginning of shorter days, and weather not cold enough up north to make it worthwhile to go down there.

LAX-TPA nonstop sold out 737 Max
Same situation for NS LAX-TPA, beginning Oct 2 showing sold out everyday. Confirmed with Southwest that it is due to the 737 Max. I'm not clear if they will substitute another aircraft or will ultimately cancel the flight. I specifically chose this flight for the nonstop. Wondering if they are waiting to cancel the flight until closer to the flight date, when it would cost much more to cancel this reservation and make a reservation with a different carrier?
