Egap?

Do those numbers also include fuel costs? If accurate, which we don't know a year and a half later.....

Yup, they include fuel, maintenance, labor, depreciation, "other costs," and aircraft rent. Even though the numbers are a year and a half old, I would imagine that even though the absolute numbers have most certainly changed, the relative relationships may not have changed much. (my opinion)

I'm still not convinced those B717 numbers are accurate, the 717 maintenance costs are likely higher now, and we don't know if those were fuel-inclusive...

Here are some more numbers for a little "smoothing" for the 717:

Sorry guys, that's all I've got. I'm sure your new union will have analysts that have the latest BTS data
