System-wide load factors are in the low 80% range. There are still a substantial number of unsold seats to accommodate last minute walk-up sales, awards, employees, and irregular operations. Not as much as there used to be, but still a reasonably fluid system.
I think it is premature to assume that the industry will not add capacity, especially if there are sustained low fuel costs.
