Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 53 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 47 seats and 0 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 47 Space-A seats empty. That is a lot of room, and it is why the Category VI number above is as good as it is.

How much the posted schedule moved

A schedule on the 72-hour board is a plan, not a promise, and on this route the record says how much of a plan. Of the 15 flights posted to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst's board for JB Andrews in the last 120 days, 2 (13 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 8 (53 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 4 (27 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
