This is an offshoot of the October - November Performance Reports thread.
Don't airlines sometime vary which airplane is used on a particular run in order to more accurately meet the demand?
The Piedmont service varies the number of coaches for the two train pairs, 73-74 and 75-76, based on the demand for the day. They alter the consists the night before while the trains are being serviced.
With trains that only have reserved seats/accommodations, can't Amtrak drop out or even add a car as needed? I know they do that on a seasonal basis, but I'm thinking they could do it on a more short term basis.
