Why does AA have so many daily flights if they can't fill them?

So that they can offer numerous connecting flights from and to montreal

A round trip is often $1000, the break even load factor should be around 5 passengers...

Its a 40 min flight operated by contractors, probably cost more than 2500 to operate but not that much more.

I checked some1 in online a few minutes ago for a delta flight YUL-LGA and they offered to be bumped so these flight's aren't always that empty

Just because they put that page up doesn't necessarily mean they are bumping people

Their gas is not the high grade that you put in your car, airplane gas is  $1 per gallen.

This 40 minute flight has one flight attended. Let’s say she even gets $40 an hour.

Any idea if using my CHASE BA card to pay for taxes/fees of award bookings on ba.com on multiple flights for multiple psgrs on multiple ba accounts cause a FR by chase or any red light by BA?

And will i earn 2x points, (is it treated as a ba charge)
