..... the cost of travel is vitally important to maintain profit margins on a business opportunity while remaining competitive on price. I have no reason to fly on anyone other than the cheapest, provided they're safe and reasonably reliable.
I'm with DeepDene.

I just returned from a trip Scotland-Norway which could only be achieved using a well known French/Dutch legacy airline. My business paid just short of £400 for the cheapest fare, a sum which could have taken me to USA. For that amount the extra benefits were a sandwich and a beer on each sector. Oh - and they lost my luggage for two days!

If a low-cost alternative were available I would have just Kept Calm and Carried On. These flights are a means to an end. One reason I no longer read Flyer Talk is to escape from those who need 'privileges'
