Apparently someone is an MBA wannabe as well. This one's pretty easy. First, one of the Big 6 airlines is profitable. That's Southwest. The remaining 5 losers (AA, UA, NW, CO, DAL) are the ones with the bloated cost structures, inefficient operations and maddening pricing complexity.

Why is it that JetBlue, SWA and AirTran are profitable?
