Thats as of last weeks data. The aviation landscape is continually changing. The legacies can adapt better than LCCs can. For example, they can fly very valuable cargo on widebody planes between countries and they are getting a very high premium for these 'cargo only' flights. Also, the legacies can adapt more easily due to their numerous hubs/locations spread throughout the states.
Even if that doesnt help, its not like B6 has oodles of more time before their own cash runs out. They are very close behind the best of the legacies. In another week or two, the cash burn can look completely different than it did last week which is why I say, and to stay on topic, take the money and run.
