Aiming for the bottom

Post by Loon-A-Tic »

As stated, Flair plans to succeed by appealing to the "bottom" of the market place. I see risk with this strategy, hope the "bottom" are not offend by this sentiment.

Why would anyone who pays the bottom of the fare ranges in Canada be offended for saving money?

Unless you're trying to imply that by "bottom" of the market you think he was referring to some sort of social class difference? In that case either you're either purposely being ignorant to stir the pot or genuinely ignorant, in which case he was referring to ticket prices and not social classes.

I do love how they are touting the 90% load factors. Even Jetsgo had 95% right up to the day the doors closed.

Flying across the country at $100 a seat is not sustainable. The non-payment on cheap aircraft leases is proof of this. My guess, like every other airline in this country, is that once Flair stabilizes, gets a customer base, the fares will begin to increase.

Haha, have to pay those big pilot salaries some how. :smt040
