Business model has a lot to do with it. Price per bag is the same for a FLL-LAX and a FLL-TPA flight. At ancillary revenue at 40% yes indeed shorter flights are the way to go. They have talked about adjusting fees for segment length. It has not happened yet.

I don't think it is efficient from the revenue standpoint. It is rather stable from that standpoint. Efficient? How so? I don't understand your SW comment. They want to be where we are?
