mm - the pay only taxes is defly interesting. I guess 'structured' upgrades was more what i had in mind rather than treatment that VIPs/ i-know-someones get but that's a good approach herei guess - perhaps I should now look to build some contacts in ground staff. Am going to give it a shot on twitter and fb after all this volcano madness is over
