Have you seen what the some other 70% of the people on these flights are? Definately not "business" travelers... 'sides the World of Coca Cola draws sooo many people there from around ther world... (of course it's leisure).
Although since Continental runs these flights to (ex EWR and IAH) ATL, BOS, CHI, and WAS hourly (almost) and in shuttle type manner, it does make some sense they are using the 735s. It allows them to offer thr frequency AND fill the planes.
They are eventually moving to 8 seats in FC though from the 6...
