I don't understand, why don't they operate this flight in reverse?

The demand was for the motzai YK flight. There are also people that want to come home for succos. They have to get the plane to JFK somehow. The urgency wasn't finding a flight back after YT; it was replacing the motzai YK flight in the small window available that didn't leave many options.
Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.

The outbound flight is quite empty. They're making it all up on the return flight.

Is Do-All coordinating with them to transfer the manifest?

Id say that at this point all who were booked have made other arrangements for chag.

LY wouldn't be squeezing in this extra flight if there wasn't the demand...

Interesting to point out that this whole scenario, is unique to this year. Say next year where Yom Kippur is on shabbos there will be much less pressure on air travel, as you get full week before Yom Kippur and 3-4 days after.

Let me correct myself with saying unique  to some years as when Yom Kippur is Shabbos  or Monday there's more travelling days

Deserves its own thread
BTW according to the flight schedule it sounds like a true non-stop
