Column on Ticket Pricing by the Big 6
This is a very interesting column by Joe Brancatelli at http://www.zyworld.com/brancatelli/branc.htm.
The first couple of paragraphs:
March 13, 2003 -- We need to tip our caps to Gordon Bethune, chief blowhard of Continental Airlines. Thanks to his arrogance, stupidity and cluelessness, Gordo's given us the perfect, two-sentence autopsy of the Big Six airlines.
In an interview with Business Travel News that was published on Monday, Bethune had this to say to David Jonas, the magazine's airline editor:
"If you have to be in San Francisco for a presentation tomorrow, you are going. If I say it's $1,200 or it's $800, you are still going."

While interesting, this has nothing to do with miles or points.
