Well said

How true, QR is not (and never have been) interested in yields, they are only interested in load factors.

although QR boasts about high load factors on some routes, yields are pretty sick. think easyjet has better yields. I am not surpised that they have ruined the BAh market with low prices, that is why i said in my previous posting, the guy in charge of revenue and yield manangement is useless, a puppet.

but with SHJ I hear the booked load factor is only 20%, so what is going on? In fact I am awaiting some inside info on this... so watch this space. Rumours are that this is a subsidised route by shj authorities.

has anyone heard that QR is flying to MAN from march 2003? I hear that it will be 5 times a week to compete with EK. There goes the prices in MAn too
