Load checks on a public web forum
 

Just a friendly recommendation to everyone that posting these "courtesy" load checks for future Flight Bookings (presumably for personal non-rev reasons) might not be a good idea and could get someone in alot of trouble with their employer.

Here's why:

When someone posts the actual load numbers, what you are doing is telling the world, (including the competition) what the flight's load factor is on that particular day. If your airline found out that you did that, do you think they would be happy? You are giving out proprietary company information on a public forum.

I am surprised that the moderators allow this to go on. Perhaps it is not against the "rules of use", but nevertheless I would highly recommend that everyone think very carefully about the possible consequences before using this web site as a means to do "non-rev travel planning".

Flame Away....

Most of it is public knowledge anyways. You can always get on an airlines website and it tells you have many open seats and, if it's close enough to departure, you can see the people on the standby list and upgrade list.

Haha, you must have never commuted?

I would not worry about what others do in order to help their peers out
