The University of Texas Morning News...err....Dallas Morning News is a suspect publication at best (they always end upblowing the whistle on A&M's violations....can they just let a cheater cheat??

)
As long as CO's fares are not reflective of their costs, it really doesn't matter to this traveler, IMHO. I would like to know specifically why CO's costs are so high. They have their own catering, low cost hub ops (Except for EWR), a streamlined all-Boeing fleet on their own metal, and new labor contracts...so what gives?
