Every single one of these flights had at most 1-2 empty seats on the entire plane!
Routes like DFW-SNA, ORD-SNA, etc will probably not see reduction. It will probably have more of an effect on routes that are typically light. You'll also see a downgrade in service on many routes to Eagle from Mainline. It also means that certain routes upgrades will be harder to come by or just disappear altogether.
Does anyone know which type of planes will be retired?
