As some on who flies over 500K of 'real' miles a year , I find it a little worrying that my hard earned patronage is equated to someone who buys subscriptions to get themselves to an equiv tier.

It is particularly distressing to read this thread and see that there are a fair amount of individuals who seem unable to identify clearly what is morally correct .

Sophistry will always allow one to fool oneselves (and others) , but at the end of the day I hope that there are enough concerned pople who will stand up and be counted.

Naive- undoubtedly but then again my view of the world fits in with John Donne's vis a vis 'No man is an island' .
Interesting thread tho.
