B6 has 233 A320s, A321s, and E190s (32,337-35,660 total seats depending on how many of each configuration).
In 2016, AS had 32.8 billion RPMs (excluding Horizon/Skywest), VX 12.1 billion (44.9 billion between the two), and B6 45.6 billion (

You can look up their revenue from their quarterly investor statements.
I'm a little surprised at how comparable they are.
Thanks for the data.
This strengthens my view that AS and B6 are basically Coastal Mirror Copies of eachother: Each serves "their" high $$$ millennial cities (AS West Coast, B6 East Coast), each has significant deals with international-only airlines, and each doesn't bother with the center of the country.
