yes it hits all airlines but......

the cheapo's business model relies on "high turnover of customers /low profit" where as BA, Quantas, KLM etc rely on "fewer customers paying more = more profit" - this means theres a window of movement in profit they can drop to which only effects the shareholders profits, not the S&A (running costs) of the company!
