We don't have those costs. And you have compared their top ticket price to our average stripped down bare fare without any add ons.
Apples and oranges.

Oh you mean to say that American doesn't charge or make money with their Admiral's clubs? Fancy Hubs? You mean the ones we use like ORD, and DFW? Ever seen their menu? They sell overpriced sandwiches, salads, cookies and chips. Ever heard of main cabin extra? Where you pay for more leg room. Even seen someone pay for alcohol on a legacy flight? Guess what, they also charge for bags too.
They charge more for a ticket than we do and short of including a "free" 4oz beverage (not even the can) and two carry-ons, they charge for more "Extras" than Spirit does.
They also make more money with additional charter and cargo that we don't do.
