** DISCLAIMER ** - the following statement is based on fact, and I am placing on record I am VERY glad UA does not adhere to thisd policy
--------------------------------

The most profitable airline on earth right now, and for some years AFAIK is Singapore Airlines.

Select the two correct multiple choice answers here. [Small hint for frequent users of US based airlines - answer (a) is not the correct choice.] :

(A) SQ gives away upgrades like candy.

(B} SQ will ALWAYS rather see a 747 take off with an entirely empty First cabin than operationally upgrade a SINGLE person, even paid biz. class pax.

(C) Which airline has the highest percentage of PAID pax in Biz and First?
