Haven't been on a plane since October. Only one trip scheduled for 2011. Letters written - and rewritten - to airlines & my reps.
I am somewhat discouraged by allegedly higher passenger load factors for December, although they're probably lower than projections.
Just one data point of anecdotal info. I have been on three WN flights since January 1 and all were far from full. Most of the routes I fly go out full or nearly so. I have had empty middles and even one whole row on one flight. We may be sitting in each others laps on Thursday, but it seems to me that the flights are not as full.
Another data point: no back ups in security or check in anywhere either.
