I've seen a 747 go from HNL to NRT with 1 non-rev on it. For those that are unaware, a non-rev is an employee of an airline.

As I stated above, the airplane, crew and whatever cargo it has in the way of mail and freight still has to go. Flights don't cancel, for the most part, for lack of customers.
