They also tend to fly less than full on scheduled services. If
you're going to apply the figures for full aircraft do it with

A pal used to do the Atlantic regularly, with BA.
On a few occasions the plane flew to the US with
less than 6 passengers aboard. He said that as far
as Atlantic flights were concerned if a flight was
scheduled then it had to fly.

Yes, in January 2000 we came back to Leeds from Brussels on a brand new
plane with no other passengers. We were given the full attention of the
crew, Millennium chocolates galore, if only the flight had been longer we'd
have been sick!
