As far as me targeting "simple awards"- I'll try not to take this comment seriously, but FYI I book people on multi-destination/RTW J/F awards every day on every alliance/carrier.

I took this to mean that you are targeting the people who have more straightforward redemption needs than the sometimes extremely complex and time-consuming ones Gary handles. That's why I said "low-end" - I was referring more to the simplicity of the booking rather than the income of the customer. No offense meant - I could have used a better choice of words.
If a $50 price point results in a good enough $/hour income for you to continue the service - more power to ya. I think that several of us are just expressing the belief that it might be hard to maintain at that price point *unless* you are focused on the less-complex niche, as this would greatly reduce the time divisor of the ratio.
