New LHR Config 747s Appearing in Schedule

The old config is still showing for my flights to and from JNB next month


VS1/2 to EWR this week is the old config ... UC is rammed full on the return, three spare seats on the outbound. Tell me again VS is making sense with this reconfig???

But if they double the cost of UC? [:w]
Will they not reduce the number?

Seriously there seems to be a number of airlines cutting F & J capacity.
That would allow price increases - but that would cause numbers to fall.

J & F have become cheaper relative to Y so it may be that someone sees an opportunity for more profit in the long term.
I don't agree, but I can see the argument.

Some people will pay whatever - and it's very hard to downgrade [n]
If all airlines do this they might get away with it.
