OK I would earn a D from you...... LOL

Miles flown? If you are a trained Statistician you would know that Miles flown would only at best be a correlation to usage. The wear and tear comes from handling, not sitting in a luggage bay, so the person that get's on a plane 4 times a year from Chicago (Central US) to SYD would put on 80,000 miles roughly, while the person who travels weekly to and from Chicago to MSP, would only fly 22,000 miles roughly. Yet their bag would be handled 104 times, to the 8 times for round trip flights.

You just proved you don't have a solid understanding of Statistics to everyone here.

Thanks for the laughs.............

Your insult just proves that you are emotionally invested in B&R and it's because of the warranty.... Now you lash out at me, when you realize the truth in numbers.

The numbers don't make your bag a bad choice, it just shows that the warranty might make you feel good, but it doesn't give you proof of reliability (which honestly is what people need really want).
