Joining an alliance is a good feature in AE but what doesn't really get to me is the gray color in the load factor indicators what are those? Also since alliance offers connecting passengers what i most commonly face problems with is that i see my profit's drop but the load factor stays on 100 because of the gray part after the green, is there a way to fix this?

The gray portion of your load factor is additional transfer passengers (alliance or hub). If you weren't in an alliance or the flight wasn't to/from a hub, then you wouldn't have those passengers. 

 

Transfer passengers bring less profit than direct passengers (as is the case usually in real life too).  

 

 

Also, filled seats (with less profit) are better than empty seats. You can't really fix it, either you're charging too high in ticket price, or your daily seats is greater than your daily demand.
