One week is generally worth about 36-40 on the RAW.

But seriously, just cap the lower buckets if the flight is a money maker and don't trash yields just to fill up the plane for the same total revenue as a half full plane.

If for some reason I won, I would probably just go start a band and more ranch land, and not care if I made it big. Fun to dream, but there will probably be 20 winner, and none of us will even get five numbers.

I'll buy this airline by its own assets or something. I will give you a gift, I will say RJs.
Now that I own this airline you may wonder, does FTB want to be a master that is loved or feared?
Both.
I want you to fear how much you love me.

I guess it really is better to have 3 full 50 seaters than a single 737-800 at 90% load factor because you're wasting that 10%?

I've been concerned for awhile that we want to show load factors vs total cost of the good provided for sometime now. I honestly think we are leaving money on the table in several markets by flying full smaller jets. PHX to SLC pops into my head right away. Our competition flys full 737s and A320s and all but two (early morning and late night) of ours are Skywest RJs.
