Hopefully they'll go to 5x weekly which would restore total seats... The flexibility would be welcome.

The most important thing to the airlines though is how many butts are in those seats. Maybe AC doesn't need and doesn't fill all those seats that are currently available. Going to a more frequent, smaller capacity aircraft is likely right-sizing their operation.
