I've been viewing flightview.com for a couple of weeks now (I'm flying on the 17th of Sept. and I'm afraid to fly...not because of terrorism). It looks like the load is down about 800-1000 flights. Usually should be around 4000 flights at any given time during peak hours.

My flight was jammed up jelly tight it was so full Sunday. I am glad I got to ride in First Class where it is a little less cramped. But these days First Class isn't Mahi Mahi. It is a salad with shrimp on it and that was Continental. My husband flies so often that he can fly first class, upgrades, so he let me take his seat and he rode in the cattle car. Later he told me he didn't have a passenger next to him so he was able to stretch out a bit. That must have been the ONLY empty seat on that flight. I am always just happy when the flight lands in LA without incident!

I work in an airline dispatch office. We use a professional version of Flightview from another company.We have filters to show our aircraft only, but when you shut it off it shows any plane on an IFR flight plan. During peak hours you cant make out any part of the United States there are so many. Today, our company has less than 25% of our aircraft flying. As do most of the other carriers.
