Yes it applies to those who fly on our airbuses. All I’m saying is Alaska’s customer base is generally more intellectually deficient than those who flew virgin and it is noticeable... the new clientele is a lot more southwestesque minus a few is points. To be expected with lower fares though.
Also, I do believe that anyone living in Washington St or Oregon would have a notion that boeing is superior to all other aircraft manufacturers purely based on them being built in their backyard. Average joe knows the phrase “if it ain’t boeing, I ain’t going.”
I do feel dumber after discussing this though. Hopefully uncle benjy has some sauce to feed me to get me feeling alright again
So you’re saying VX charged MORE for their services and didn’t undercut ticket prices? You’re also infering these higher ticket prices attracted a more intelligent customers base? So intelligence is now linked to how much someone spends on a ticket? Well, yeah, everyone knows the really smart people pay more for the same thing...duh. Too bad those MENSA members you guys were flying around couldn’t put their giant brains together and figure out a way for VX to generate a profit. Maybe that would have kept you in business longer than 10 yrs. Guess it doesn’t pay the bills to focus only on the genius class. Silver lining here is you need not worry, you’re not any dumber than you were before for discussing this. It sounds like that bar was set a loooong time ago.
