Why it works
In the measured first six minutes, the narration starts at 0:00 with a market paradox, then the 1:00–1:15 revenue/fleet charts make the scale claim concrete; that comparison sits inside the strongest local replay span (1:04.8–1:21.0). After making the low-cost case plausible through 4:27, the film reveals the reversal at 4:27–4:51 and pivots into a hub-network diagram at 5:38. These figures describe the supplied opening excerpt of an episode that continues beyond 22:53.
