"There is lots of competition at the bottom end of the fare range. None at the top end, which is why AC thinks they can afford to lower FF benefits in the domestic/transborder market."
============================================
RThis is quite true. I am aware of people from pharmaceutical companies flying on AF and carriers other than AC in J class as AC refused to lower their fares and the other carriers were giving quite noticeable discounts. Result: Good for SE's to upgrade as there are more empty seats! AC is doing something right for the FFers flying overseas!!
