Good point I should have done the math so in this case for a flight like the above ($20 x150=3000) the company made $1600 dollars after paying for fuel (4600). But then you have to pay for landing fee/pilots/fa's/and whatever we pay for outsourced gate agents. So *maybe* the company would break even on that flight which is great, but then we still have planes parked that we are paying for. Compared with what a lot of airlines are losing a day 4 million isn't bad, but it's also not great.
