Those are interesting, but they strike me as low. My personal experience has been better than these quoted numbers, but as I said, I help them along by shopping more carefully.

Those seem like bermuda triangle numbers -- flying prime time (departure 9a.m.-4p.m.) in a hub city on CRJs. Or flying prime time from a hub origin on transcons where lots of people buy first class.
