It's ok man,...you ve like fumbled through every question and sort of moved the goalposts.
I don't have a degree is RASM/CASM either.....and it just proves to me that when it comes to all the economics of air travel.......there is stuff that we as pilots just don't know.........and there is no shame in that.
