The 190's couldn't make money on their current routes that's why you see them start flying and a month or 2 later they pull out. Same thing is going to happen with this West coast flying, they cannot possibly make money flying these routes even with a full aircraft either way. I heard our break even factor at Spirit is around 70 pax on transcon routes.
So you know more than the guy that started a couple of airlines, national ones. But who knows how it works, rich investors keep throwing money at these ops. Didn't Virgin America or Jeblue not make money for 10 years before they turned a profit?
