Yes, and there are savings in one fewer f/as required per flight, lower infrastructure cost (fewer seats to install), lower maintenance costs, less wear and tear, lower catering costs, and less pressure on ticket agents, g/a's and f/a's since they would be dealing with a lower total passenger volume.
