I'd imagine that our aircraft utilization has a great deal to do with higher staffing per plane.
"The company has 55 planes at the moment, but they use those planes more efficiently than the competition, keeping them in the air for 13 hours a day, whereas a Jet Blue only flies its planes for 12 hours a day, and at Southwest that number is less than 11 hours."
