One might be getting married. One might be there for business and had samples. Poor planning. What if all 234 seats had been filled? Leave behind 70 bags? Greedy when others are fearful.

I had mentioned that earlier. Were local banks forced to lend to KQ? The local banks were forced to convert Debt to Equity. Equity Bank refused to convert Debt to Equity at a much higher price.  King James managed to get a better deal for the other banks too. It's a pity that good money is being flushed down the toilet. The minority shareholders should be tapped at 10/- and told to invest as much as they can in their precious airline. Greedy when others are fearful.

Payload restrictions must be applied at all times especially during bad weather/ any other conditions that lead to a higher fuel burn. The pilots need fuel to divert/ do a go around if required. Frequent flyers understand this and they just need to be paid a bagggage relief allowance and bags delivered to their address.This is not a huge cost to an Airline at all.

NBO-West Africa-NYC could have captured a lot of traffic to/from USA-West Africa. The 787 could have replaced some of the 737 seats on NBO-West Africa routes. The disadvantage would have been the 787 can't do the matatu hops like the 737. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

If I understand what @maka said earlier, 80 tonnes [please correct me if I am wrong] of fuel is loaded for a 15 hour flight. From NBO-ACC (as an example), it is just 5 hours so less fuel (30 tons) needs to be loaded thus more luggage/cargo (50 tons) can be loaded from NBO. Luggage will also be offloaded in ACC for NBO-ACC pax. That can be replaced with ACC-NYC luggage. The remainder (10 hrs?) flight requires less than 80 tons [50 tons?] which means 30 additional tons of luggage can be loaded. Of course, adjustments will be made depending on what is dropped off or picked up in ACC. One doesn't want pissed off pax! Greedy when others are fearful.
