If we only put 6 pax on their flights, then why does the company need 35% or even 50% in many cases?
Could it be that the 6 pax average figure is taken entirely out of context? Who cares if that's what it ends up being because the vast majority of their "flights" are to tiny little niche airports? 35% to 50% of DL pax on their flights, on large narrowbody aircraft, being filled with DL pax is entirely unacceptable.
If its only 6, then let's limit it to 6. The company should have no problem with that. Right? Heck let's double it and limit it to 12! I'd be cool with that.
