You seem to have a real hard-on for this flight to fail, so I assume either you or your ego has a vested interest in this flight being shuttered in near record time.
Why do you:
a: Presume that their is lots of red ink? When I measure my success in investments, I don't get too worried about my daily or monthly return, as long as my annual return is positive. Besides, theirs the mantra stated ad naseuem on here that load factors don't indicate profits.
b: Think that anyone on here would know (or share if they know) the original projections? I think it safe to assume projections are that this route would be more profitable than the next best alternative, and at a level throughout the year that justified non-seasonal service, and a timeframe within Tempe's threshold for loss-leading market penetration. Anyone who quotes figures more exact than that is someone who is talking out of the wrong end, or doesn't anticipate having a job at US HQ for long.
Finally, when you post random information hinting at impending doom, it might be helpful to at least re-read the thread and spot check other facts, since I previously posted that GIG-CLT on April 9th was 80%+ booked....that was the first GIG-CLT trip I looked at, and clearly above the best day of 45% that you state. I don't know if the ink is red or black on that flight, and I'm smart enough not to speculate.
