how many people will do MRs via this? some hardcore FTers in GER (+ VFT...), 60 pax? 80? most of them will do 2 segments, so what the heck?
Well, that partially answers totti's question: The actual number of Cessna HONs, or SENs (myself, I have a gut feeling it will be considerably higher than what mag predicts) will be useful in order to provide an additional measure of the appeal of HON status and help LH to explicitly/properly price it in the future...

OK, since I don't have the time to jump into one of those Cessna hops on weekdays, I'm just sitting here speculating about life...
