Low load factors?
Flts in late Jan and Feb were wide open.

I had a quick business trip SFO-LHR and AA priced out at $1900 in coach. I got disgusted and checked Maxjet. It was a reasonable $1400 RT in their business class from JFK. Adding the SJC/SFO-JFK segment, I'd be able to fly business for AA's coach.

I noticed that the load factors on Maxjet were very low? That concerned me as I wanted to be absolutely sure I arrived at my destination at the time planned and had enough alternatives for fallbacks.

Found that AA was a reasonable $450 or so with a Sat night stay (which worked out for my trip). For now, I skipped Maxjet but will definitely consider them for future trips.

Why are their load factors low? Will they go I-Air way?
