Good point, I'd admit. Two thoughts that pop into my head include;

- I assume the $1.7M number probably comes from some rough math of number of non-rev's in F x the cost of an F ticket. But remember, this seat is going unused otherwise. I would put more creadence in the $1.7M number if it was the true operating cost of the seat. But I don't get the feeling that is the case ... but who knows?

- $1.7M does not strike me as a huge number for a company the size of AA. How does it compare to other benefits? ... to overall revenue?
