Not a bunch, but enough to get most of the 60% or so of commuters across the industry to work and back. That's just a reality of the industry. Besides, even if everyone lived in base (never going to happen) 100% load factors actually harm an airline. One flight cancels and that city pair is trashed for the rest of the day or more. One storm rolls through for a couple hours and the operation takes a week or more to recover.
