I understand what you are saying I just don't understand WHY you are saying it. What I'm saying is that we don't know, or at least I don't and it hasn't been mentioned here, what the operating cost of both XJT and SWA are per seat mile. The aircraft expenses are not proportional. The bigger the aircraft the more efficient(money wise) per seat to an extent. It's very possible that SWA could operate at a much less $ per seat mile. To move 150 people SWA needs 2 pilots and three flight attendants. To move 150 people XJT would need 6 pilots and 3 FAs. Granted SWA pays much more to the other two up front I'm just pointing out one example of several about how % load is only loosely usable when compared within one airline. IE XJT NOV. 2007 % vs XJT NOV. 2006 %. Even then fluctuating ticket prices, fuel prices, etc all go into the mix. Unless someone can give the operating cost and revenue numbers for both you can't just walk up and say any one airline operates better than another... I find it very hard to believe that XJT is operating better than SWA. Reason being is SWA has had many years to run through everything with a fine tooth comb and if there's a way to save a penny they've already done it. I don't believe any upstart company can expect to operate with their kind of efficiencies. Those things take years.
