Which means that to break even on the half-hour Canberra run you would only need 6 bums on your 72 seats!
Hmmmmm
I would have thought that the hourly costs would go up when the sectors get shorter, increased number of cycles per hour and all that. I think that more than six bums would be needed.
Also I bet Bombardier don't factor in ticket selling costs and ground handling costs into their figures either. These are the same no matter the length of the sector. Short sectors are comparitively more costly.
