Airfare $19.86 surely way below fuel cost. Who even came up with this system?

    I’ve read somewhere that first and business class make up the bulk of the income. No source.

      I’m not sure how that maths out. Last time I booked a ticket (sadly a few days ago), it was a round trip with one connection each way, so 4 flights. It was an extra $600 for first class, so $150 per flight. The planes were around the 20 seats in first class size and that’d be $3k… it’s hard to say that the $3k was the bulk of the income there.
