Yes, the more connecting passenger the better chance of hold but It is more than just a simple numbers of passengers game...it is what effect holing the flight will have downstream and will it cause other delays. Have seen quite a few lengthy holds for one passenger and have at times BEEN that one passenger.

That is one reason I like WN over the legacy carriers like Delta cuz they will close the doors as soon as last person is on and not give a rat's arse...hence DELTA actually standing for Don't Ever Leave The Airport
