So, let me see if I've got this right.
The 744 had about 70 P and J seats operating at, on average, 60% commercial loads or around 40-45 pax from AKL-LAX and then to JFK.
But that didn't make enough money so we'll send at least 10-15 commercial pax to someone else's airline for 5 days a week and all of them elsewhere on 2 days a week and hope that the other 30-odd stay with us on the 330 on the days we choose to operate it. Hey, but if we can get say 80% commercial loads we'll make squillions.
By that logic, why are we even considering more A-380's? If we get some smaller aircraft they'll always be full and our bonus will multiply handsomely.
