I believe you do have a FF program no? As for the premium cabin, that is indeed a difference in the business model and target customer.

As for Delta making 75% from premium cabins, they most likely aren't losing money in the main cabin.

NK was profitable in the past, without premium cabins. Something has changed fundamentally.

I don't mean any of that as a dig on NK crews. JB has its own challenges to work through... I believe they are fundamentally different, but challenges nonetheless. I still think the two airlines coming together will help address each airlines challenges simultaneously. Just need to make it through the crap-storm and come out the other side.
