Yes, that's right. Both press releases contain the line "Flight details for the Saturday-only service are as follows:", but no one in Tempe actually bothered to include the schedules, instead releasing them half-finished. Nice work, guys.

Does this flights only operate in the month of February? If so, does that make the flight worth it, 4 weeks?

No, it's a bit longer than that.

Here's when they operated it last year, when CCY issued a press release that actually included dates and times, though I'm sure Barbell will explain to me why that was a bad thing. (Tempe still hasn't corrected theirs.)
