chongcao: if you're the only restaurant around you can charge Michelin prices for Cafe de Coral food. Milk your schedule til passengers pips squeak. Given recent complaints here and offline I don't think the analogy's an exaggeration.

CX is increasing ASK by 1.1% but decreasing yield by 5.2%
Given I doubt any of us are decreasing yield by 5% the benefit is likely to be enjoyed by outport O&D and transit pax.
Hard to argue with these observations.
