Since AC wants their fare names to better describe the fare, and also that "Tango" is meaningless in this regard, I thought we could help them out by providing suggestions for a replacement name for Tango; names that better describe the nature of the fare.

I'll start: Shaft

Or if you want to maintain a link to the past: shafT

Tango --> Standing room only
Tango+ --> Seat and miles
Latitude --> Seat, miles, and perks you won't use
Executive Lowest --> Big seat and more miles
Executive Flexible --> Our most expensive option

call it L class = LOSER
... then a higher class is cargo and all inanimate objects
... then comes Tango+ (Flex), Latitude, and the rest of the booking classes
