i recently read that the sin-ewr nonstop in all biz class is being terminated, and the planes returned. it is about 16k miles rt. the cost was about $10k i may not have quite the right airports, or the correct cost, but i am close. the airline does not consider the flight profitable. that is a loaded rate of 60+ cents a mile. first class should be closer to a buck a mile.

a far site from pennies a mile.
