For the majority of customers, the ones who are price sensitive, who do you think will be more comfortable? I offer that the 232 AC pax sitting in the cramped cheap seat space will be more miserable than the 156 WestJet pax sitting in the slightly roomier cheap seats.
I'm sorry you missed my point.
I was saying that ACr will fill a bigger plane at (according to your research) higher fares than WS will.
If they can sell more, at higher prices, wouldn't they be stupid not to?
The second part of my statement refers to the idea that the vast majority of people on that plane (I hate to put an estimated number but I'd guess well over 80%) will be sold via AC-Vaca. In that case, its impossible to know what price of seats they are paying.
The flight you chose to price is essentially an AC Vaca charter and any additional money from non vacationing O/D passengers is gravy.
