Cog and BobZ said that would never happen.
Maybe it would hurt their feelings, if it did.

Since we are using Alaska as the case study: how many guys that drive to work (in SEATTLE) would commute across country to fly a 777 for the same money? If they did, how many Seattle residents would then benefit?
I wonder where the FUPM mantra went?
