It doesn't seem possible to make lease payments on brand new A321's with just day turns and no redeyes. The frame needs to be flying all day long, especially with ULCC covid fares. Allegiant can make day turns work because the planes are old and the cost is a fraction of a new plane. The Allegiant fleet does 6-7 hours per day (as mentioned on the earnings call last week), and no flying on Tuesday.
