So basically a loss of 58k-38k a year, which as long as we keep getting PS we can make up. But we loose so much simply because we have less higher paying aircraft than our peers.
They have PS too you know. Yes, we have higher profit percent. But it's not like we grossed 14% more in PS than they did in 2019. I think theirs was close to 10%. And if they get paid 58k more in your example, then a few lower % could match match our PS sum total still.
