Non-rev from Guam to Narita or back can’t be a problem. Rode yesterday as positive space customer: 208 Pax capable 73, literally bored enuff to walk and count 17 pax and most creating their own lay flat seat out of 3, so about 8% actual LF. Stateside runs are getting packed, but that’s by constricting number of flights from 15 to 3 so that might be a challenge for a family of 3. (Definitely more than 70% LF if that’s a trigger?) Lot of 3’s in this checking the current tempo post.

In other words, if they're going to have to re-accommodate paying pax, they'd rather do it because of other paying pax.

I’m not following you. They want to sell enough tickets in case there are people who don’t care one way or the other? Won’t they sell however many tickets they feel is necessary to fill the airplane anyway? Non-revs never fall into their equation as to how many tickets they sell. And what if non-rev passengers don’t care one way or the other either? And how would this affect non-rev passengers since they never get re-accommodated anyway? Is it truly about social distancing or not? The virus doesn’t care if you paid for the ticket.
