Definitely move along, nothing to see here....
I completely agree. What I am thankful for is that it lasted for more than a year without the bloggers even caring enough; now that they are getting out of ideas of what to write about, now they are writting about it and more people trying to start buying WN tickets, but WN already caught up with the loophone they created and savings are marginal if no co terminal potential exists.
For now, they can keep Summer Tuesday/Wednesday flight prices up for a little more, without having problems until they close the window and can start pushing cheap Tuesday/Wednesday summer promos again.

Again, glad the bloggers didn't care about this for more than a year, as everything they touch/write about becomes non existant in a matter of days/weeks, and that is while banks keep paying them to refer crapy products or churn the good ones.
