I didn't mean premium in terms of people who fly in premium cabins, just that they're spending more money to offer attractive times.

Gotcha, yeah that's fair. Keep in mind that 5 United crews will be overnighting here. A bit more maintenance will be coming online as a result. If that tail was just going to RON at LAX, it can now come here and get a bit of mx overnight which wouldn't have happened last summer. As far as the crew, based on what I already know about how United schedules currently, I'd bet a dollar or two the crew will actually route ORD-YYC-LAX and vice versa.
