Do you mean RASM?
Higher RASM= better.
Higher CASM= worse.
No, those are casm numbers not rasm. I got them reversed in the oroginal post. The higher numbers are with frontier, lower numbers for spirit.
The ancillary revenue on frontier is much lower xompared to allegiant and spirit. On the other hand, the frontier product is much morr inline with a normal carrier than spirit. Thats why i think there is going to be a higher yield for frontier product than spirit. My two cents
