[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 58854"] worldwide, I think you miss the point... I stated [i]Can you tell me what the price differential would be between flying, say 150 passengers and their luggage from New York to LA at $200 a head and filling that same plane to capacity with air freight?[/i] I don't know what the weight capacity is of an Airbus is, but I do know that I can carry a couple dozen NDA letters on my lap. The rate for a non-discounted NDA letter from NY to LA is $18.50.

If this doesn't make sense, let me know where my reasoning is off. I am not privy to the IPA negotiations either.
