BB,
Ok they're all unbunched now. I've had my cuppa tea, two Bex and a good lie down. :P Jokes aside, not too stressed. Just gets a bit repetitive sometimes.
CPdude,
Schaaa right. There's no such thing as a premium LCC. Their entire business model is based on min service for min cost with all other goods/services available at a premium. Ryanair, Easyjet, Southwest, et al. Those who have tried to straddle the divide have failed (remember BA's attempt with GOing GOing, GONE??).
Perhaps the point you were trying to make was the first tier carriers have been eroding their services for some time to get closer to LCC's. On that point I can agree with you. Qantas and their meal boxes (although they finally admitted defeat on that particular one) and CX and their unwavering enforcement of baggage allowances are but a few examples. Even SQ has cut back (most notably on catering) *sob*
