Taipei - HK has about 1k daily business demand, and to cope with that I renewed one of my 772s with 20F, 160C and 50Y. On the seat config page it shows F and C condition as excellent, and when I'm operating this route I got 0% (like dead ZERO) load factor, while my F and Y are above 95%. I wonder why.
Hmmm...could be you just have too many seats in C class. Then again, how long ago did you start this route? What is your route image for this route? Are u advertising?
The advertising & RI are fine, cuz before I convert to this particular high C config I had default config and it worked great. I thought I could increase F and C on wide bodies and add couple new flights with 321s to cover the decreased Y, but I might just simply have too much C...

After a reconfig I noticed a drop on LF% for a week or so, then it normalizes. If it doesn't normalize then you might find your competitor) since really only one major player, you another major player and then one guy with a single flight to utilize his plane I assume. Might have his planes configured with a high c (not sure)
So what you should do is give it a week then if it doesn't pick back up on your C go back to your original config

Just make sure you are checking actual demand.
