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

    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.
