If we pretend for a moment that $11,000,000 was the actual gross (40,000 members..somehow i doubt it), taking in account leases for six BR's, whatever payments (if any) that are made to partner lounges, staff, food, alcohol, etc., I am having a hard time believing that this is a windfall. Unless there is some serious revenue on the partner side, or its treated as a break even/loss center just to attract business to the airline. Especially since there are whispers that rate increases are around the corner.
