- June 22nd, the 10,000 passenger embarked (outbound ORH-SAN) passenger.
- June 22nd was the 98th outbound flight
- Average passengers per flight outbound equates to approximately 102 passengers
- MD-80 seats 130 so the average load is 78.5%
I calculate the last flight on September 3rd to be the 138th flight outbound. We will need to get the total passenger count from the DOT site that Charley Farley gave us to them determine the exact loads, unless of course our airport liaison will give them to us. Although I wish the loads were in fact 90%, I simply do not see that to be the case. If on June 23rd the loads were 78.5% and the summer months were most likely slower, I am betting on more like 75%.
Trust me if the loads were in fact 90%, other airlines will jump to take the place of Allegiant in Worcester like other airlines have done when TransMeridian/Hooters went out of business. In the end I feel the real reason Allegiant pulled out were low loads, not fuel prices. Considering Allegiant has a limited fleet, they need to put their planes were the demand is strong.

Thanks... Just do not see June-July-August being higher. If anything it would be lower, so an 85-90% load factor does not seem realistic.
Any idea when you can get the July-August numbers from the http://www.transtats.bts.gov/ website?
