Fido Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 When at Air Canada I would regularly compare the flights with the highest Load Factor with those that had the highest profitability. Seldom (like never) was the same flight in both lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
