I don't think the confusion lies in the fact that the mainline partner pays a fee for each departure (hence fee-for-departure airlines) regardless of load factor. The controversy is over the fact that this JP character is saying that it isn't a set fee per departure but that the fee varies depending on variable costs at the FFD airline.
