50.70% is the load factor...so the 50 seat jet is only taking 25 people per trip on average. The route is also only making 15 cents per available seat mile. That is HORRIBLE for a regional jet right now.
Air service from OKC will be at the mercy of the rest of the industry...which means what you see now, is what you'll get for awhile - unless oil changes more either direction.
As far as Worry Free. Allegiant is pulling that aircraft back into its scheduled fleet. Worry Free had the option to use Northwest or another airline...but decided to pull the plug. They will also end the Mexican service as well. Hopefully, with the east wing construction getting close to becoming a reality...that a couple international gates will be added so we can get Aeromexico or another Mexican airlines - or even a US carrier going the other way.

Bummer. I can never get a seat on that flight. I thought it was doing great! Every time I fly through there it seems to be pretty full, but maybe I just have great timing.... ha ha. I'm pretty sure it's the latter...
I like getting all of this ariline information.
Also noticed the huge ExpressJet poster in WRWA. Maybe they should pull that now...
