<<Oxnard is questionable at best because of the Southwest draw at both LAX and BUR. Frankly, I am somewhat unclear how SkyWest is making a go of Oxnard service as it is.>> It was actually a joke, highlighting the fact that santa maria service is not the best option. Skywest makes a go of their service because they get fee-per from UA, which guarentees a profit. I think UA makes a profit because people prefer to go through the one security machine at OXR and get better seats for their beyond LAX flight. Not many people fit on those Brasillias so it does not take long. Also, they stand in a really short line. I have noticed that the terminal is full of Business travelers, so that shows that UA can collect a premium.
