stupid or not so stupid
below mda - with you on the baggage catering etc. all those service costs add up...thats why jetstar etc offer cheaper seats (sh*te service...)
with respect to it being a stupid idea- I only meant for myself. for others who absolutely require their space or sleep or whatever, from a business point of view, its ingenious (sp?) to offer this service. in a world of standardised air travel, the opportunity cost of investing in a high profile step such as this is high, but so far it seems to be going air nz's way. i'll stick to my vertical sardine can though. poor instructor and that...
p.s: get me a cushy job flying aero commanders on a decent wage and i'll start buying the skycouches..
