Why dont they fill up the Airplanes to there capasity like pretend there is a flight form ORD to JFK at 10.00am and the onother at 2pm
The first flight goes have empty the other flight is the same have full and have empty.
Why dont they just put them together so they dont make 2 flights.
I also understand that the schudules people have to fly on but try to make the best time to fly like earlear or in the afternoon.

Basically, because not enough people who want to take that plane on that day at that time. Schedule means what it says - a flight runs to a schedule, like a bus or train. If you start to consolidate flights just because there are, to the airline mind, not enough people, the idea of "schedule" goes out of the window. You cannot run a bus, train or airline service on the basis that this or that service will run at this time ....as long as there are enough people!

Well, I won't have to worry about anyone listening to you to change the schedules of flights....the word is half empty or half full.
Would you like to sit there and wait for 4 hours and just becasue it is 1/2 empty one day, it does not mean it is 1/2 empty on other days.
Besides, it is cheaper to fly early in the morning then in the afternoon. And if I had to wait, I would just go with a different carrier.
Obviously you are not customer oriented either.

Did you see the movie Airplane! ??
They are afraid they'll have to go into warp speed and they don't want another situation of every passenger ending up looking like Richard Nixon

they (airports) thinks that it would be safer to fill it up some of the way so that they have enought for cargo below. its a weight issue.
