Pretty much. There doesn't seem to be any consistent reason why they slowed some routes down drastically and left others alone. That's why it makes no sense. And there aren't any "cheapie routes". Did you ever hear a DB try to explain to his coach why he didn't cover the back by saying "he ran a cheapie route coach!" Give me a break.

I'm also not going to say any more except to say this fix is not a fix, and they actually may have opened another can of worms with this "solution".
