People complain that SAS ticket prices are too high. Then SAS lowers the prices and, now that is bad too, because that will "drive other companies out of business".
Well, no sh_t Sherlock!! That's the general idea. Life is a bitch and so is competition. We recently saw the end result of competition in Norway when, in effect, there was only one company left. At that point SAS became the bad guy and had to placate a bunch of politicians and buy BU. Gimme a break!! Now we cannot use our bonusprogram in Norway anymore. It is a tool in the COMPETITION!!!!!!!
Nobody will stop GOODJET or anybody else for that matter from joining up with some other major airline and gaining access to that airlines bonusprogram, or they can start their own.
In all sincerety let me just say that I wish all the upstarts good luck, they are going to need it!!
