Grrr

Who cares? Apart from the foolish people who've thrown in with this clearly deluded crowd!!! Their business model is a joke. The "all one price" model is a great theory. The problem is it doesn't work. Airlines used this model when they first started. One price for Y, one for C, one for F. Then they found that they couldn't fill all the seats at one price so they segmented the market by introducing minimum stays, advance purchases, penalties for changing etc etc. Now this airline thinks they can start an operation in October using what they think is an original model but is actually one that was tried by all airlines and failed!!! I really hope that not too many people have sacrificed a career in pursuit of a tried and failed ideal. It all sounds like Debonair but without the charisma of the chairman........
