So if the consolidator buys seats, but the FC cabin stays almost empty (as I have recently seen),
does the airline get revenue for an empty seat?
Or am I mistaken? (Maybe the consolidator has seat availability, and only pays when you make
a purchase? But, I don't think so.)
So if the airline gets consolidator revenue for some empty seats, can't they release these seats
for upgrades and walk-up fares within some time period before the flight? This way we could
'have our cake and eat it too'.
