So, if in the OP case, you have only 32 entries on Flight 1, you play down to 4 (12%) or Level 16?
I think the culprit in this case is the "14 players" provision, which was probably put in there to keep from having two tables of 6 players during a Day 1. This would not have been so bad if there had been 80+ runners that flight, but it would be a problem with 48 or less.
Players want the convenience of multiple flights and cardrooms try to accommodate them, but such convenience comes with costs. Maybe next year MDL will cut down the number of flights and can use this situation to explain to the players who complain that they can't make a Friday or Saturday day 1.
