MIA/HAV isn't going to be a high margin route with high premium cabin demand like JFK/LAX.
Yes, given that it is about a one hour flight, little premium cabin demand is likely. But that does not automatically equate to low margin. I see these routes as operating like American Eagle domestic- small planes, minimal service, few crew--all leading to low costs, but with relatively high fares per mile. Not to mention excess baggage charge possibilities and feeder flite revenues. Aren't Eagle flites among the higher margins in the system, all things considered?
