This is a reflection of the problem all airlines have, Monday morning flight between the 2 major Aussies cities and plenty of seats empty. (Monday mornings and Friday afternoon are prime time)

Not good news the loads.

It was an E-170 VH-ZHC with 78 seats so it was a near full flight, the 79 would have inc crew which there are five.
