Insurance isn't helping but I don't think it was what caused the negative amount. I flew a route from KSEA to PANC last night and got 10 mill. I'm
thinking there is a cap on the pax ticket price and the fuel price burned up all the profit and then some. In reality, I'd be charging the pax more
for the tickets then I did to cover the costs. If I made 10 mill on a two hr. flight, I should be making 60 mill for a 12 hr flight. But as it is, 2 -
2.5 hr flights make to most economical sense. So I'll forget the long flights.
