My guess is there may be blocked seats. So either one of two things is happening:
1) Data sources (APIs, web scrapers, however EF gets its data) are no longer differentiating between blocked seats and occupied/assigned seats
2) Data sources are still differentiating, but EF logic/software is not differentiating and displaying properly
Hi WannaTheater, you are correct. Our data sources are no longer differentiating between blocked vs occupied for some airlines. We are working with them on this, but unfortunately cannot commit to a clear timeline just yet.
