I told you that before if you read my earlier posts. Reward tickets are not the same as revenue tickets. You can't fly a reward ticket at any time you want.
Fuel dump an upgradeable fare, use a cert to confirm at booking, boom, J at 1/10th of what the rich fool is paying. |

I don't think I have ever paid more than $4200 for a ticket, except once for a RTW ticket, and once for an LHR-YYC (stop)-SYD-YYC (stop)-LHR in J, which effectively worked as both an LHR-YYC round trip plus a YYC-SYD round trip.

I fail to comprehend why some would willingly spend more money when realistic alternatives are available.
You can have product X for $1000. You can have product X for $10. Which would you choose and why? How is this possibly a difficult choice? |

I don't understand what exactly is getting debated here?
It's like the price of Gas. It goes up and down, and if you're smart and listen to Dan McTeague you can try to avoid some of the spikes but at the end of the day, there will be some days where you will have to fill up on a spike day. Of course you could choose not to drive and wait for a dip day to fill up but that's the price you pay for convenience. Some people are more risk-averse than others. These folks might choose to pay for a J seat to guarantee they ride up front. They have the means (either their own deep pockets or employer's). So what exactly is the problem? Last I checked we do NOT live in a socialist state (yet!). And remember, the higher-social elite pay a lot more in to government coffers than most middle earners despite all the myth that there are loop-holes etc. the rich know to avoid taxes:
I don't support or condone anything but I don't understand why anyone should care how much anyone else paid for their tix! If you can get it cheaper and it works for you, that's all that matters! |

If I recall correctly one of the AC Execs used the term "bottom feeders" to describe that market. Correct me if I'm wrong :confused:

i am on a tablet so this quote thhing isnt working well. Your figures are misleading as you don't base the taxes per wealth rather numbers. Note how much the top 1 percent owns compared to the bottom 50 percent then you get a ture picture.
