Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 92 percent of the 96 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. Those are good odds by any standard.

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

Category II2 flights
Category IV6 flights
Category VI88 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 96 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 40 seats and 12 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 28 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 25 flights posted to Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam's board for Kwajalein Atoll in the last 120 days, 3 (12 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 11 (44 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 11 (44 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
