Hope someone else comes along to provide more clarity on the RPU issue. It also seems odd to me that there would be 20 1Ks higher than an H fare on the WL (though totally possible on that route).

I would note though, that Monday is a mix of holiday travelers and business travelers and that's a very heavy consultant/business route which would go a lot further to explaining the long WL. I flew LAX>ORD>LAX for the holiday leaving on the 21st and coming back the 25h. On both 757's the WL was less than 20 people long on the day of. That's about half the "norm" for that route. Cleared on both.

Probably a lot of federal bureaucrats on YCA.
