I know this is just an anecdote but I fly about six times per year Zurich->chicago and my trip this past Friday the plane was less than half full. I've never experienced that - it's usually full. Would be interesting if they start reducing flights - for example every day there's a united flight and a Swiss flight for this route that leave about thirty minutes apart. They are codeshare airlines and could just cut it down to one flight.
