Well, we Finns use a different calculus when applying accounting techniques to our flying.
US Air:
- flights this year = 10 6 domestic 4 TA
- Miles flown = 18 K I guess
- Air Fare = price that fit our flying need/budget
- Taxes paid = to the Fed? they want it all. Otherwise I don't know except that I know they screwed me in LHR on the UK UG tax
- Average Yield = since Obama came to town, I stopped looking as it's all negative
- Miles flown versus beer and wine consumed at destination = unable to say as we're in Spain at the moment and we're up to 5 bottles of wine and we can't remember the rest of the numbers. ^
- Satisfied with US or not? = still flying them, on time with bags & having some UG success and successfully playing the Z fare + Envoy UG game TA all of which gets us to our destination in good staid from the PHL market in which we live
- Who do I like more, Obama or Parker? = The former is running America like the later initially tried to run the new US Air. Given that US is now a mostly on-time with bags airline, I can forgive the later. I vote for Parker.
Where you live and what you value determines where and with whom you're gonna fly. The game is pay the man whether it's the government or an airline. I'm more afraid of the government crashing under debt than I am of US Air charging me more than WN.
Gotta go to the beach and get ready for another Spanish night. Adios
