Really? You have some form of access to their historical booking patterns? Or are you just blowing hot air?

Can you name one airline that doesn't book income as it is sold vs as it is flown? At a base fare of CAD1440.00 vs the 25.3 Billion EUR (call it 36 billion CAD) revenue of Air France/KLM Group for 2013 how many do you think they plan to sell out of Canada to help them "cook the books"?
