WN is pretty well, the last I checked (okay, maybe not the most recent quarter). When you start talking about pax "paying enough to cover the cost of flying", how much are you talking about here? If WN can survive at similar fares, why not US? Well, it's because the costs are different. Are you (not you in particular, but US employees) willing to work for the kind of pay that WN employees are getting (I have no idea how much they make)? BTW, some people have mentioned that WN actually gives its pax more bang for their bucks on the same PIT-PHL route at lower costs. Hence, don't start complaining about pax not paying enough for the costs of flying.
