Has anyone else noticed? Last Wednesday I flew EWR-MCO at 3 PM. There was NOBODY but me in the C-3 security line. It was a 753 and by looks of the people in the lounge, was very empty. I returned from TPA on a 762 (subed for 752) Friday morning with 17/25 in FC and only 30 in coach. When I looked at the C-3 Security checkpoint on the way out, again, nobody in either line.

I am now at the PC at EWR waiting to pickup my wife on CO 19 from LHR. It is a 757 with 45 people in coach. When I went to the domestic elite check in to get a gate pass, there were 2 other people there, at 5 PM on a Sunday. There was maybe a total of 25 people in the C-3 security Lines. The PC is maybe 75% as crowded as I would expect it to be.

I guess this is great for Upgrades (I am batting 1000 this year) and low prices, but it has to be crushing the airlines. CO may get an opportunity to pick over the bones of UA sooner than later (that is, if they can get financing).
