He's not going to charge $2.00 for the gallon of milk to me, then charge $8.00 for that same gallon to someone else. Most airlines use some type of revenue management program where the rates are already set. It just seems like it would be easy for a discrimination case. Most BM's at ERAC can't grasp the concept of revenue management. Not because they're not smart, but because they've never been introduced to it or studied it. What most BM's do is price gouging. | Like the price gouging done on 9-11. __________________ "McCain will bring a lifetime of experience,Obama will bring a speech that he gave in 2002" -Hillary |
