I worked 30 years for one of the airlines involved yesterday; I was fearing that the passenger loads would be higher but in retrospect it fits. The summer peak
season is over, loads would be down because of the economy, & early AM flights
are often lighter. I would guess that the load factors averaged around 25%.
