Sounds like 61 of 73 cities, doesn't it? It's 61 of 73 city pairs, folks, out of a thousand, and only those started in the last couple of years, during which the company endures known startup costs, and during which they likely do not expect to immediately gain back their costs.

Actually out of 3342.

True, concerning number of departures. I was referring to city pairs, of which I'm not sure of the exact number, but I'm guessing it's 10 times the "73" markets mentioned in the article.
