EXHIBIT 6 FREE-ENTRY PRICING-COMMUTER AIRLINE FARES COMPARED TO CERTIFICATED CARRIER FORMULA BASED COACH FARES FOR EQUIVALENT MILEAGE EXHIBIT 7 EASTERN AIR LINES, INC.-COSTS PER PASSENGER FOR NYC-MIA, 12 MO ENDED SEPT. 30, 1976 EASTERN AIR LINES, INC.-COSTS PER PASSENGER FOR NYC-ATL, 12 MO ENDED SEPT. 30, 1976 Unit costs are based on the Eastern domestic F-41 for the twelve months ended September 30, 1976. The costs per passenger assume a 55 percent load factor on an L-1011 (256 seats) and a B-727-200 (135 seats). The cost analysis compares total economic costs to directly variable costs under the following assumptions: 1. O&D Passengers.-Assumes the carrier operated between A, B and C with authority to carry traffic from the domestic points A and B to the international point C and vice versa. The carrier now accommodates passengers between the domestic points A and B on an O&D basis. 2. Stopover.-Assumes the carrier already operates between cities A and B and chooses to stop at an intermediate point C, which is a new station to the carrier's system. 3. New Flight.-Assumes the carrier already operates flights into cities A and B, from other points, and now chooses to implement service between A and B. 4. New City.-Assumes the carrier initiates service between A and B, where A is an existing station and B is a new station. 5. New Cities.-Assumes the carrier initiates service between cities A and B, both of which are new to the carrier's system. EASTERN AIR LINES, INC.-ALTERNATIVE DEFINITIONS OF DIRECT OPERATING COSTS 1 Assumes station manning at existing stations is manned for peaks; therefore, new-flight can be accommodated with existing personnel. 2 Assumes added expense for the new station only. |
