Let me ask this general question.

What makes us so "expensive"?.

In comparison to some other wholly owend -PSA- and other independents -Air Midwest-, who happened to operate strictly the 200 and whose pay is not much different from Comair's -not by much-. They also have been around for quite a while, hence their percentage of lifers compares to Comair's, they have the same type of contract we do -pay for departure-, what makes us so expensive?.

One thing we have most other people don't is the "third" party ground handler sudsidiary, which brings a lot of revenue.

So again, somebody enlighten me and tell -by comparison-, why are we so expensive?.
