Tigger, even if the flight is not full, if it's able it flies. The airline needs that aircraft to stay on it's route. So for example, if a lightly booked flight from NY to LA were cancelled because of empty seats, what are the people in LA going to do who were going to board that aircraft for their flight somewhere? The airline have to keep their aircraft in position as best they can, so even if one has a low seat fill, they still need to get the plane to the next destination for those next passengers.
