Essentially what it comes down to is that due to the nature of Bermuda's location in the middle of the Atlantic, the airline and aircraft needed to be certified for ETOPS type operations. Western Air doesn't have that, Bahamasair doesn't even have it. I guess Bahamasair was smart enough to flat out say no they can't and won't do it, but Western thought they could get away with it. They are lucky their entire certification hasn't been yanked.
So when your cost of doing business/break even point is 20-21% for the wholesalers...you think forcing them to sell at 15% is feasible? Good luck with that.
