I'm not sure if this is an urgent bug, or even a bug at all.  But the Load Factor script is kind of glitchy.  I noticed it on a few other routes I've edited, but decided to bring it up on this one.  

I was editing my DEN-SLC route.  At $803 the LF is 87.07%; at $802 the LF is 87.29%, at $801 its 87.55%, and then when I entered $800, it jumped to 100%.  Even at $800.000001, the LF is 87.77%.

So, this isn't really a bug in my opinion, just a glitchy script.

Not sure if it has to do with the aircraft, B734ER, or the route edit function, or if it affects every plane and both creating new routes and editing routes.

If there's competition on the route that could very well be fully normal (weird huh).

the loadfactor script accounts for routes (in competition) from the cheapest to the most expensive, and throughout demand is getting eaten up by use.  If you have one or two competitors at 801, you may be last in line for 803, 802, and 801, but by undercutting the competition (or in some cases matching if your route is oldest) you may jump to the head of the demand-line and get a sudden jump in LF.

If there's no competition on the route, not even from yourself... then it's a little odd.

Wow that is pretty weird.  Yes, there's plenty of competition on the route.
