Do you really believe this? Well, it shows how little you know about this business. I fear not even a low cost carrier - which SWISS definitely is not - does make money with 25% load factor.
1. Low Cost carriers can only make money if they fill their 73's up to the max. and fly a lot. I don't know their brake even but it is high.
2. Swiss (ex LX), have relative high ticket prices on low densitiy routes (mostly) therefore a lower brake even at sometimes as low as 20 %.

On the SR long haul network every route generated cash since Jan 02.
Of course it generated cash but was their a profit ?
And again I feel this totally misplaced feeling of superiority in your words.
How hard is it to just work together ??
