Craig .. great piece of math! Looks pretty ball park to me at first glance, and your load factors and cost look within sensible reasoning.

My only take is that a $10 levy might have been more prudent, as a good deal of hedging saving must still be in place, and conversely a drop in price due to increased production will mean $10 might soon be over correcting?

On a $69 cheapie a $20 hike is nuts. Does it apply to EVERY flight regardless of distance? Guess I better shut up at I step onto a SYD-USA-MEXICO-SYD in a few days, of 18,000 miles of flying so if they levied it on distance I'd be up for $100s more, not $20!
