It can still be fully automated but the automation contain rules for common situations where they end up needing seats. So yeah I am sure it is based on both historical and current loads mostly, but you can still do things like:
  • Any kind of IRROPS waiver in place? R=0 everywhere, all upgrades go to the gate.
  • One of the "clean up" flights (last couple of evening flights out of YYZ to Europe, last evening flights out of YYZ to various domestic destinations, etc.)? Just have R=0 permanently.
And so on.
