Out of 12 mainline segments in two weeks, loads were never even close to full.
As a more dire observation, only one flight (RDU-CLT) had a full f/c cabin.
That means a nearly complete absence of business (US1, 2, or 3) flyers on board. I think that most FF's are shifting their business elsewhere.
I'm testing the waters on LH and AA next week (my clients will not fly Envoy and pay a full C fare). Oddly, Envoy used to be my European clients' choice (even over their own flag carriers). Unfortunately, it seems to have been relegated to an upgrade cabin, with the food, cleanliness, etc., reflecting that status.
BTW, FC was not full on 6 flights I took in September. Again, the FF's just aren't there
