I don't know. I was amazed that with 99 seat airplanes and above, the CASM ex-fuel target, that Management feels is achievable, is 6.5, but with ten 50 seaters it goes to 6.8 or 6.9. That's a big difference for 10 airplanes.
I believe what we're seeing is that if Frontier operates with only Airbii, we would be fairly profitable. If we add the "99" seaters in, we're still profitable, but less so.
As always in aviation - time will tell and the answers will be abundantly clear in retrospect.
Tomorrow's news and Thursday's webinar ought to be even more interesting than today's call.
