Clearly you don't have a clue how airline pricing works. I'm guessing you got this from the Twitter lady who screwed up and was comparing a Delta economy ticket with a mixed cabin first class ticket?

If only the rest of us were as "smart" as you professionally indoctrinated...errr. I mean educated folks.

What a lot of these towns are forgetting is the log tail to support these things. The MRAP may be pretty but now you have to train people to maintain it and then source spare parts. Probably not worth the effort.

On second thought, with the number of meth labs in middle America maybe we should be giving them M-1s
