Title: Question Regarding Aircraft Capacity Limits/Blocked Seats
Post by: rettir on December 03, 2020, 03:57:06 PM
Example: A DC-6B aircraft with 75 Y seats, 4 C seats & 2 F seats.

Because of distance; an airline blocks seat capacity to 70 seats. How does that effect the seating configuration?
Yes one could reconfigure the aircraft. But that costs money. Blocking seats is cost free. Perhaps the penalty is that the higher priced seats are lopped off?

There's really no need to manually block seats in cases of load restrictions UNLESS you're aiming to make more cargo space/weight available.
