6 months ago i could easily fill a 747 with 3-5 million in packages, now i struggle to find 1 million. I searched the entire world and there are no 44,092 packages. Even if I fly the a225, there is only one 220,462 package and its not priority. There are a few priority 4409 packages, but not enough to fill a 747. is there a reason why it seems there are way less priority packages then before?
Thanks
Less priority packages?

Re: Less priority packages?
In general 10% of all packages will be priority packages for packages of size 40 kg to 2000 kg, There are no priority packages for the 20,000 kg and 100,000 kg sizes although the general rate is a little higher for those than smaller packages. This has not changed significantly since packages were introduced.
I just did a check in the DB, right now world wide there are 687,243 priority packages and 6,310,829 normal packages in the system, this seams within the normal ranges.
I always assumed that at for each departure/arrival combination there would be a mixture of priority and normal packages and of course the priority and more valuable would be taken first, which should encourage pilots to fly those less popular flight.

Re: Less priority packages?

Yes, the job that creates packages runs four times a day.
