There's a reason for that...anything north of %80 is essentially full. Delete out all the late night MX repos that are sold as live flights, and the other oddball departure times/weekend flights no one really wants go on, and that load factor is essentially %100 at the times real people want to travel.

There's less of that going accross the Pacific, but %87 is probably essentially "full" also.

From this data, it seems that we're filling every seat that we add back into the system, and they need more metal if they want to carry more people. We'd better call Alaska so they can order some more airplanes.

The most noteworthy jump was in flights across the Pacific, with traffic up 21.6 percent to 2.01 billion revenue passenger miles. Those Asia flights were full, too, with load factor rising 6.5 percentage points to 87.9 percent.......




......Those Pacific Loads increasing is very good news. :)

So, I wonder if we were we going to see even greater increases in flying with the JAL deal? I guess we will never know. :rolleyes:
