When I see 3 seats 'taken' its a pretty good indication the flight is not doing well. But, according to tphaung, blue never fails at anything.
I'll check back in a few days, we'll see what else gets reduced.
Would you like to cite the airlines that are currently doing well on any routes? AA and UA may have a handful of flights that are profitable on an irregular basis, but the reality is that every airline in the country is currently hemorrhaging money faster than they ever have.
