I think some out there in cyberspace are equating the term "industry
average" to the term "industry
standard."
They are not the same thing.
I don't want Delta to be
average, I want them to set the
standard.
....and then I want another airline to set a higher standard, then another airline set an even higher standard, etc., etc.........
