twasurfer said:I agree they get counted twice thru a hub. UA pax travels from LAX to JFK flight is LAX-ORD-JFK = 2 enplanements - one passenger.
SW doesn't use the hub system as much as the other majors- agreed? OK
pax books on SW for same trip but has to drive home from Islip. LAX-PHX-BWI-ISP =4 enplanements - one passenger
I really don't care about SW and their ranking. I was making a simple point about creative accounting and bad managment.
I don't think creative accounting has anything to do with this statistic.
Don't get the bad management angle either.
You are incorrect in your analysis.
Even if you were correct then you assume our airplanes are full of thru passengers and then again, you are incorrect. Rarely do you see more than ten thru passengers on a flight.
It doesn't matter though. We have a fair share of long haul flights also.
