Tempted but the pile of debt airlines including Finnair accumulated, no steady dividends in sight and its not a scale/growth business keeps my status as loyal customer vs shareholder.
while it may be good, in many cases it will also lead to customers booking elswhere, if theres enpugh of that it starts to hurt the bottom line… time will tell. I will make my judgement and choice in 2024 when they show us HOW bad the new deal is…
