Well sportsfans - another interesting day at the coalface. The DJ system and phones have been unreachable so guess what we have been selling - albeit upselling. AN and QF - In my humble opinion if one is going to pull such a stunt one needs a Global Distrubition System - ie - a large proper mainframe such as Sabre or Galileo or a dirty big internet server.

I will not for a second say that vacant capacity dumping is not a good way to get people used to a very good service, but firmly believe that p*ssing off more potential passengers than you gain is a very bad move commercially.

More power DJ but I believe you have alienated more people than you have pleased with this one.

Too small a market to keep doing it too I am afraid. It will bite.

Time and experience is needed.

Best all
