How an empty leg on this route appears

Nobody schedules an empty leg. One shows up here because an operator has an aircraft finishing a trip near Chicago and needs it near Washington, D.C., or needs it home and this direction happens to be the way home. That is why the flight can be a fraction of a full charter, why it can vanish within hours, and why the return direction is a different flight entirely with its own price and its own aircraft. Watching the route beats searching it once.
