I was specifically thinking about how packages get picked up and get to the planes and then get to their final destination. This requires a tremendous amount of infrastructure and market capitalization for ground work.
While frequent flier programs and lounges for passenger airlines are some value, they pale in comparison to the market capitalization of all the airport terminals, parking garages, taxis, ubers, etc. This “ground work” would be needed to make a fair comparison. Don’t know that exists. But it would be needed to make a valid apples to apples comparison. People need to understand this when they are trying to make comparisons and drawing conclusions.
