Since when does IAH get a destination payment? Bloody typical, never got one at WW LGW.
OK, MIA vs DFW, then. Failing that, ATL. You get my point. I've used the US flights because:
1. They are in the same country (for sake of comparison) and the argument can't be clouded by down-route issues.
2. They are less controversial than others, the thread can't be distored down the whole 'racism' track.
I am well aware of the 'extra' crew member. We reliquished the Number 16 after 9/11, except on the 'destination payment' routes. It can still be a bun-fight on these routes and the necessity for the 16 just proves my point. Off the top of my head, I would say we get the most complaints (relevant to crew issues) from MIA and probably MRU but don't quote me on that. The 'extra' crew member is a commercial decision for the sake of customer service.
