On one of my airlines I fly LAX-LHR. The first class demand for the flight is 25 pax. With my two flights a day, I have 16 seats on the market. My first class ticket price is $1599 while all the rest are $2000 or above, yet my first class cabins are still only filling up at an 81 percent load factor. Shouldn't a price that is $400 lower than the competitors make the cabin fill up?
It depends on the demand it is a ratio that divides the pax on a low demand route it is better to keep higher prices and not a full cabin. Than charge really low prices and not have a profitable route. Another reason maybe that the route has like way more seats than the demand.
High IFS Reputation differences can also lead to this effect when a route is overcrowded.
If you have a bad IFS while the others have good IFS, the price difference which required to get the passengers will be even higher.

I'm aware of that and that was the first thing I checked. My first class IFE is rated at an 75 whereas the only other higher-rated airline is at 86 and is 700 dollars higher than me. At that point it should still allow me to get more than what is now around a 50 percent load factor.High IFS Reputation differences can also lead to this effect when a route is overcrowded.
