Sorry to sound like a broken record, but....



IT'S THE FARES, STUPID

I rescheduled two trips to NC because the fares were over $1000.00. It's time to raise the bottom of the bucket and lower the top significantly--I have been told it CAN be done, and in other cases it has worked.

I have 3 trips in 3 weeks booked--only one of which is at a reasonable rate. The others are just a notch above reasonable, but nowhere near $1000.00.

I could have taken another 4 trips during the time I waited for lower fares--it would have meant MORE revenue overall.

Come on folks, THIS is what WE want (customers). We WILL pay a SMALL premium for better service and schedules. There are other ways to save money. The rolling hub concept is just a start.

Well back to the airport tomorrow morning--I look forward to seeing my friends at US tomorrow 🙂

Best to you all....
