Oxford Ledge Signal -- extracted from the issuer's own SEC earnings exhibit and normalized by Oxford Ledge. As reported by the issuer per regulatory convention, not re-audited by us; a figure our extractor could not verify is withheld, never shown. A metric is compared only across carriers reporting it on the SAME basis and scope; a blank cell is an honest coverage gap, never a zero, and carriers may report different quarters (see the period range). Stage length moves these unit figures mechanically: longer average flights lower cost and revenue per seat-mile, so a short-haul carrier reads higher on CASM, RASM and yield. Read a rank against each carrier's average flight distance. Source: each issuer’s own SEC EDGAR earnings exhibit.
