Well times change.

Chris Corrigan now owns more than 50% of DJ and he has been strongly on the record they MUST have one, and fast.

By Xmas, I'll bet the house. If not sooner.

As I've posted many times before all they need to do is like SouthWest in the USA (easily most profitable airline in the USA) and offer a free flight for each 10 paid flights.

Simple, attractive, and incredibly easy and cheap to track and maintain and understand. ^ ^

Inventory they capacity control, so effective cost - near ZERO. Extra bookings - a LOT.
