SBM.
Sometimes I wonder why you can't see in the same greytones that I deal with regularly...my goal was never to claim that kettles and elites are a 50/50 split on all CO flights systemwide.
My point was to demonstrate that when you balance the route I mentioned (because I flew it the other day) and counterbalance that with lots of CLE-DTWs, that I still believe that elites are not as outnumbered as you might think they are.
We can discuss what the numbers are but I don't think of elites as a tiny sub-segment of the traveling public on CO.
Please don't make my position in posts seem extreme when it is clearly not.
