OK, it doesn't hold the same number of uncomfortable bodies as a stretch-gup, I will grant you that. Math, who would have guessed? However, it does fly FULL, from east to west in winter.
"It doesn't have the range when you put a decent load on it"....Full isn't a decent load? Range? Why fly past California or Seattle in it? Where are you going? The country is this wide------------------------------> the bus easily crosses it without bumping anyone or their bags 99 times out of 100.
The seats are filled, so are the pits....with plenty of gas to spare. I will agree with you that a longer, narrower plane has a greater number of more uncomfortable and cramped seats in it and can therefore generate more revenue. But that's not what this tangent was all about.

FULL is relative. If the plane has 20 seats on it and they are all occupied, it's considered full as well. You got me............where was this tangent going?

I don't think Smisek gives a ****** how comfortable anyone is, there's no spreadsheet for that either. The pizza, the plate, and the table it was on left the building with Brenneman, this place will be mired in mediocrity until Smisek and his band of spreadsheet kids are gone. He is in so far over his head it's comical, until they stop pooh poohing the importance of operational integrity nothing will change. His ego will never let him run this place like a real airline.

With the apparent policy of upgrading anyone who flies more than twice a year, how much revenue is the PS really generating? Does anyone actually pay for it anymore?
