By your theory, we should stay out of those pesky blue state hubs like SFO, LAX, DEN, IAD, and EWR where most of our high yielding customers come from. Expense is only one piece of the equation. Yield is far more important.
I’d rather operate at slightly more expensive airports and pick up higher revenue passengers from Silicon Valley, Hollywood, the nations capital, and the financial capital of the world, rather than operate at much lower cost airports.
