No. Flights are often under booked. The mean load factor in the US is ~80%. The worst thing about conspiracy theorists is that they have no idea what they're talking about. Leave the real conspiracy thinking to the guys who actually know their stuff.
- danso 13y agoSometimes I don't know what's worse: conspiracy theorists, or people who matter of factly assume there are "guys who actually know their stuff" AND, if they do exist, are the ones who are actually tasked with meaningful action

- shimon_e 13y agoAnyone with access to Expert Flyer can see exactly how many seats are being sold for any given flight.
- tszyn 13y agoI think the parent is saying that the maximum allowed number of passengers was 50 fewer than the # of seats. Meaning that 50 seats were never up for booking.
- shimon_e 13y agoExactly.
- shimon_e 13y agoThis is being mentioned on flyertalk. The maximum amount of bookable tickets was 50 less than the actual amount of seats. They had 4 passengers on standby which were only allowed to board after 5 passengers were no shows.
- proexploit 13y agoDo you have the link for that? I'm curious and couldn't find it with a quick search.
