Chuck Norris must have something to do with WN's kick-airline-butt awesomeness :D I knew it!

Just wanted to point out that the load-factors for XJet are very typical for this time of year...and when you take into account their still fairly-new arrival in these markets, well they really aren't doing that bad. For my last two trips, my largest pax-load was a whopping 31 adults - and on a CRJ-700, no less...Also consider that when United began service IAD to Beijing this summer, they were launching 744's with just a couple-dozen non-rev's in back...

The big question is what does a ticket cost on Branded? Has anybody tried purchasing one recently? What is break-even for a JungleJet?

Tickets are just as much if not more than the competitors. We aren't doing 25 dollar tickets like FLYI did.

They should be more, though. Flying nonstop is worth a premium.

Quite a few of them are though. Look at SAN-GEG tomorrow. XJT is $586 round trip, and while others offer less, the only non-stop flight is on XJT. :D

So far I'm very happy with the Branded results. And if you look at load factor by route, you'll see that a lot of the low load routes are in the east and midwest. If I were to peer into my crystal ball, I would guess that SAT as a domicile may be shrinking soon (if it isn't already?) in order to concentrate more on underserved west coast routes.
