Secret Squirrel said:I have heard different. The numbers I see are that we have some of the highest cost in the industry. The problem is that we fly too many jets and do not utilize them efficiently. Comair uses its jets around 12 hours a day. We use ours around 7 ( on average). This does not allow us to spread our costs as efficiently and brings up our AVERAGE costs(You know, costs per seat mile). So on paper. We do not look like a very efficient airline. Now I do not know how much this is our fault. Does XJT set the delivery schedule for the jets or does CAL? This also means we could double our flying and not have to take on another jet. This would bring down our costs.
Remeber ther is always an accountant out there that can look at a different set of numbers (or the same)and make you look like a fat inefficient airline.
