It will be cuirous to see if the flight back to St. Louis from Charleston is any fuller. From my boarding position i got 24 hours before it does seem that way. But I think its hard to expect full flights on flights that were announced only 6 weeks prior. Also I remember at least one of the directions had no easy connections due to times (other direction had some decent ones from west coast) Will be interesting if i spot the Dreamlifter again. And then i fly right back out after getting back for an interview with a 5 1/2 hour wait where i see both evening banks happen.
I don't know if you will see much next schedule extension. Hard to beieve they would cut anything that isn't normal seasonal adjustments since they would have done that at the end of the summer with the mass fleet retirement occuring due to the MAX models appearing. Also it could depend on how many more planes they will have ready by then. Could see for example Cancun fly more than just Saturday if planes were available. Likely a few other adds could happen too, especially if they want to shift connections more away from Chicago.
