I have my answer. From B6's most recent 10-Q filing:
Operating revenues decreased 3%, or $23 million, over the same period in 2008 primarily due to a 6%, or $42 million, decrease in passenger revenues. The decrease in passenger revenues was largely attributable to a 5% decrease in capacity offset by a 2% increase in yield over the first quarter of 2008 and the addition of our Even More Legroom optional upgrade product, which we introduced in mid-2008.
