Sure. Are they profitable from a fleet perspective (ie keeping all the pilots paid, sims going, etc) or just on a per flight basis though? In other words do the cargo flights defray the cost of keeping them on or simply mitigate some of the cost?
I was curious they pulled the 321T off the LAX JFK runs and put the triple on it. Right now it's only for nov. We'll have to see after the Dec schedule loads what happens then. Amazingly, we used to do 12 a day between those city pairs on the 321T. It's just so hard to imagine all the business we used to do, seems like so long ago.
