Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 34 percent of the 50 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. The rate looks rough on its own. Read it with the seat numbers below before you write the route off.

The lowest category that made each reported flight, in the year ending October 2026:

Category I1 flight
Category III14 flights
Category V18 flights
Category VI17 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 53 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 17 seats and 2 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 15 Space-A seats empty. That is the tell. With that much room, the roll calls that stopped at a higher category were mostly flights where nobody further down the list was there to take a seat, not flights that turned retirees away.
