Not DisappoinTED
The reduction in cost per seat mile comes for the increased number of seats in the TED A320s, 156 seats in a TED A320 vs. 138 seats in a mainline Bus. A 13% increase in ASMs at the same cost. If you look at the LCCs not one currently flying has an aircraft with more than ~160 seats, save for... -

UAL early retirement numbers
Though the posted applications for the early retirement were as you reported, roughly 100, the Company only approved (accepted) about 45! As to the requested leaves, there were something like 50 requested and the Company only approved 24! If the Company is only accepting 45 early retirements...
