It turns out that the average flight has 93.3 seats, and this includes all those tiny flights (Cessna etc) that serve tiny places. I would expect that the average flight in/our of large and heavily congested places like JFK would have a far higher number of seats (let's say 150). But that's not the case: according to online.wsj.com/public/article/SB118696365326095429.html , that number is only 98. Something to think about next time my time is wasted by being # 26 for take-off at JFK. And why isn't the government doing anything about better use of public facilities?
