Is that after they (and we) can't afford gas at $105 a barrel?

And this is bad because...?


See I'm guessing they may have some empty seats on Tuesdays/Wednesdays Saturdays anyway. Get $250 up front, maybe the customer will only fly once or twice. Seems like a unique way to generate some revenue. Of course it is a lot easier to criticize something before it even has a chance to be evaluated.

Juan Tango--Love your avatar. Did Fred Smith really buy the Air Force? TC

 

[Atlanta Vicks]

Yeah, Airtran used to do this, I don't know if they do anymore. I believe it was called X-Fares and was for college students. I can't remember exact details, but I seem to want to say that it was 50 bucks and you rode priority standby. Maybe one of the FL guys can correct me if im wrong.

 

[Juan Tugo]

Ok, let me explain...

It's not the program that's a bad idea...it's the name...GLIDE??? As in "Best Glide" or "Windmilling engines"...

 

[skykid]

Gotcha. I see it now.

 

[Phaedrus]

Yeah, I hear you clucking but I can't find your nest...
If aviation types had problems figuring out what you thought was wrong with the program I'm guessing the John Q. won't either. Especially John Q. Prematriculation.

I think it's really neat how they made it from the "Regional" column to the "Majors"!

I know, it's just where someone posted, but GO INDY!

Anyhow, way back when I was a college student, I did my best to "glide" my way through school. As a result, I am a pilot, and not a well paid engineer.
