And our 757's in international configuration only seat 160 at the exact same payrate...is that seat cost argument still sounding good? No spin there... He also conveniently omits that Delta's 124 seat 737 also pays $174 per hour, and our 124 seat A319 pays $168/hr, and our 125 seat DC-9 pays $157 per hour...maybe we have entered the spin zone!
In YOUR seat math discussion you fail to mention the following:

Southwest $210 per hour, divided by 137 seats per aircraft = 1.53 per seat per hour.

That "seat math" yields the following for the 747: 1.53 per seat per hour X 403 seats per aircraft = $616.59 per hour.

I know, I know, Southwest is not one of our peers we can compare to.
