Okay, assuming the plane was empty, except for the pilots, full FA, catering, GA, tar-macks, gas, gate-rent, and traffic tower, how much does a flight cost to operate? Maybe that's easier??

Okay...your JFK-LAX example on a 767-200...In the 1st quarter of 2001 the direct operating cost per hour was $4,056 for AA. That is direct op cost. A rough estimate of total cost is to double that figure.
