Heart Surgeon Assessed Fine Over Interline Flows
White argues the carrier could break even with two daily round trips properly timed to maximize interline connections. Revenue figures show 1,876 revenue passenger miles per one way trip and a 46.1 percent load factor. Carlsbad would need about 6,000 yearly boarders and Hobbs about 7,500 to sustain service, or face a CAB battle to preserve current service from Texas International.
