Yeah because the passenger couldn't possibly be U.S. based, have domestic travel needs, corporate contracts, Fly America Act, etc, etc. OMAAT has a very myopic view of the world
I stopped reading his blog other than for research on seats.

He and other bloggers are simply divorced from the reality that most frequent flyers fly because they HAVE to, not because they WANT to. And that the point of the points and miles game for those folks is making the most of that situation rather than playing the points and miles game for the sake of the points and miles game or to fly all the a380s in f or fly to The Hague just to review a hotel.

As such, they make crummy daily reading for folks who HAVE to fly.
