This is true. If BA and KLM both fly a 737 N times a day from AMS to
LHR, perhaps they could consider combining forces and operating a
widebody (say a 767) half as many times overall.

Trouble is, competition law might prevent that, even though (to the
business traveller at least where fares aren't the primary
consideration) it would provide a benefit.
