Your odds as a retiree

Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 42 percent of the 26 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 November 2026:

Category II1 flight
Category III4 flights
Category IV1 flight
Category V9 flights
Category VI11 flights

Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 28 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 61 seats and 3 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 58 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.
