Talk about 1mm+ and then you’ll have more influence but even then, everyone will probably demand their own private room.
CX's passenger revenue was around US$8.6bn in 2016, US$4.1bn in 1H17, according to their annual reports. If you just take the minimum of the number of DMs (20k) times the minimum of your US$50k assumption, DM contributed around 11%~12% of passenger revenue in both years. And that is the bare minimum assumption. I wouldn't be surprised if DMs actually contributed to north of 20% of total passenger revenue per annum. By any means, I wouldn't call that "small potatoes" and/or "nothing". It looks quite a sizable chunk to me!
