Jump to postI can tell you that at most (all?) airlines fuel is the largest operational expense, with employee wages/salaries being the second. Fuel and wages used to be about equal, untill several years ago when fuel prices rose dramatically.
Jump to postIt seems like many lower yielding Florida (read: non MIA) flights are getting the axe, due to rising fuel costs that are probably no longer making these flights profitable.
