I checked the seat maps....the flight I booked has a reasonable number of booked seats but plenty more available ....business is half full. The Delta flights, especially the JFK connection were bare empty and did not give me the warm fuzzies.....definitely have to look at the seating charts now and figure out if there are enough passengers to make it worthwhile...

I think travelers are just waiting for confirmation as to what they actually need to be accepted.....or not
