Add to that the no delay bonus
Never heard of that one, Yamaha. Which carrier gives a "No delay Bonus"?? Certainly not the one i fly for. It would be a very direct threat safety and I'm suprised if any regulatoy authority alows it.
So basically LOCO's screw everyone.
Errmm... Don't quite see how that follows. My point was that by following a "No Frills" business model, the (better) locos have made a consistently profitable business without compromising saftety. It's not their or anyone elses responsibility to prop up major carriers whos' costs are too high. And if said Big Airlines cut safety margins in pursuit of profit, it should be to their great shame and eventual come-uppence.
