Without a doubt, ancillaries will show an improvement. But selling more unbundled goods to lower-priced ticket buyers isn't going to do anything positive overall when the numbers are added up to reach the bottom line, if the total bundled fare isn't higher. The CFO was mysteriously quiet about that segment of things in his presentation—notice he never said that ancillaries increased 'without damaging our other metrics'. There's quite a wide valley between a G-fare + ancillaries and an inclusive B or M-fare.
