If 160 people want to go from JFK to ORD on a Thursday morning at 8am, they
will fill a 737, but they will consume less than 1/3 of the seats on a 747.


If 1000 people want to go from JFK to ORD on Thursday, they'll fill two 747s
or ten 737s. The main difference is in how much fuel is wasted and how great
an impact on the environment is created.

If there were 1000 people that wanted to fly JFK to ORD at the same time
every day, every other day or even once a week there would be some
airline that would schedule the flights with 2 747's. There aren't so
there isn't. The airlines have found that the customers want flights
scheduled throughout the day at different times to match with their
individual schedules.

That was exactly the case in the past.

There aren't so there isn't. The airlines have found that the customers
want flights scheduled throughout the day at different times to match
with their individual schedules.


So why not have Citations leaving every ten minutes with five passengers each?
How can people complain about the effect of aviation on the environment while
accepting multiple, inefficient flights of small aircraft instead of a lesser
number of efficient flights of large aircraft? Where does one draw the line?
Is it any surprise that airspace is crowded?

If frogs had a BRS, they wouldn't bumb their ass so hard when they land.

If you had a clue, you wouldn't have made this post.
