[BLOCKQUOTE][BR]Please explain your vision of Value Pricing? What I see is eliminating the amenities in the coach. Such things like the Computer Power Port system, should be an extra fee etc... [BR][/BLOCKQUOTE]

[P]One more time - value pricin:[BR][BR]1. Reduce the number of fares on any give route to no more than 5[BR]2. Eliminate change penalties - just charge the difference between what they paid and currently available fare[BR]3. Raise lowest fares to at least a break even cost[BR]4. Lower the highest (current unrestricted fare) to 1/2 of what it currently is[BR]5. Don't get caught in money losing "fare wars" for the 21 day advance purchase traveller with airlines that don't want to go along.[BR][BR]To take it a step further:[BR] [BR]6. eliminate the "power port" completely. A laptop computer in clear air turbulence is a danger.[BR]7. limit first class to those who paid for it, or upgrade those who paid full Y fare.[BR][BR][/P]
