Is the Pacific Express the military rotator that flew either SanFran Kadena Osan or Seattle Kadena Osan?

I was stationed at Osan and flew on the 2nd to last rotator flight home on World. Because of my job and position at the wing, I've was privy to a lot of discussion on the World rotator. I can tell you the 1 and 3-star were not particulary happy with the performance and pricing of the rotator. Interestingly enough, on one occasion, I had to book a flight on DAL/Korean Air and the ticket overall was $640 cheaper (no exaggeration).

Although I felt the rotator made the operation very easy (everyone in-processes at the same place, same day), going civilian has saved the military a lot of coin.
