It hurt, but was the right decision.

When do you make the all to fly someone else’s metal?
When? At exactly these moments.

If flying alternate metal could have assisted me in not missing 3 kids' birthdays in 2018 I would have done it in a heartbeat, even at twice the price, let alone half.

You made the right decision and should make the very same decision 11 out of 10 times.
