I agree (and welcome to the forum!) but I wouldn't underestimate the power of branding as part of the whole package of how people feel about the products they use. Honestly, I'm fairly savvy (read: cynical ) but even when DL service disappoints, I like when FAs look sharp and the logos etc. look world-class. Rational? No, but as we move up the need hierarchy I think it becomes less and less about basic satisficing and more about how we emotionally connect/identify with the product.
