newbie questions

Thank you for posting this.

A couple of questions from a newbie to these numbers...

Are these the loads for just one way, e.g. DEN-SEA, or both there and back, e.g. DEN-SEA and SEA-DEN?

I also noticed that most of these are below their load reported in the Q1 results, 84.7%. I would guess from some of the ones at the bottom of the list that that is because of more flights with larger planes on the highly loaded routes. Is that correct?

I expect that some of the lower loads are to subsidized airports. Absent subsidies, what is a reasonable load to be profitable? Or does it depend too much on "fare or traffic composition"?
