It's true that he only discusses RASM (in the non-paywalled article, at least), which is only half of the picture, but costs can't possibly be significantly lower than ATL, DTW, or MSP.... well, I suppose anything is possible (e.g. maybe one or more of them has exorbitant landing fees or lease rates).
