WorldTraveler said:so, it is ok for me to give you a pass - which I did - because you pulled an estimate out of your head, I corrected it, and we moved on but you want to continue to hammer away on the fact that my estimate pulled from memory was for 40% instead of the actual 38.1?
you call people liars and fools but want to be excused for back of the envelope math that is just plain wrong, no matter how long you worked at it.
and DL absolutely did say that it expects to see $200 million in increased revenues at LHR because of the VS partnership. before you call me a liar, I would VERY STRONGLY suggest that you review DL's earnings call transcript.
it ain't my estimate.
the part that is my estimate is the revenue value of DL's operation at NRT vs. LHR.
perhaps you can tell us how many seats DL has at each of the two cities - for LHR now vs. NRT a couple years ago at its peak.
Don't forget to factor in that NRT average fares are far higher than at LHR.
do the math with more than just a napkin and some estimates you pull out of your head before you say that someone else is making up stuff.
You just don't get it.
First, I admitted my post was an estimate.
I stated the purpose of my exercise.
And I challenged you to post the correct data/numbers, etc., which you haven't done, and you wouldn't even admit you were lying unless somebody called you out.
.
Second - regarding the DL-VS JV. You claimed that $200 million generated in that amount of time is greater than any other airline partnership has managed to do over the same time frame.
Now being the scoundrel you are, you're backpedaling into accuracy that the $200 million is the estimate made by DL, not the actual revenue the JV has brought in.
You're a class act.
Quit deflecting to NRT.
Back up your claim or forever remain a fraud.
I triple dog dare you!
