Folks, let's try to get back on track. Don't see any progression here.

There are very different interests among the members of our great community. Many don't care about aviation at all and can't tell the difference between a 737 and an A320. Many members think it's great to interact with various airline executives and to know about product.

The challenge is to find a good mix so everyone has a great time.

The problem with a North American DO is the opportunity to have the cockpit door open and in flight cockpit visits, to do a low pass (or two) and of course dealing with the TSA.

Of course there'll be a challenge filling a widebody to go RTW, but I do believe it's possible (especially when we add up to 6 digits earning potential both EQMS and Redeemable miles). We started with a CRJ for a European DO and sold out a 757-300 where most spent way over 3K USD.

With a north American DO will sell out in 2 seconds and we will have to turn lots of people away, which is also not ideal.

Let's keep tossing out more ideas. In a day or two we will post a survey on www.starmegado.com to get a better picture on how many prefers to do what.
