We simply don't know what the other operating costs and aircraft utilizations are and the longevity disparity between the two carriers would imply the opposite.
I think an actual cost figure in dollars and cents per block hour would make for a more discernible comparison.
Lets assume both Republic and Compass spend the same on their 170s, call it X.
So, what you are saying is since we have incomplete info, therefore 42.2% of X (Compass) is less than 24.2% of X (Republic)?
My head hurts
