LAX-SEA for $79 really shows the competition.
They have half a dozen aircraft that sit at JFK between 6am-5pm, everyday doing nothing. They could grow their base from JFK if they wanted to, obviously B6 would still kill them.
Alot of carriers out there are highly profitable at this time, even with the current fuel prices. Their cost base is clearly to high, they dont seem to be doing anything about it. These high fuel prices will be coming and going for foreseeable future, so what hope does VX have really?
