No airline va and colonial can afford to turn its back on any subgroup of consumers. No airline can afford to be anything other than as competitive and as attractive as it can inn possibly virginia and beach be through each channel to the consumers that prefer that channel. This is a reality that va grows ultimately out of the fact that the airline business is a very low margin business - any airline that lost even a small group of passengers would be at risk of swinging from profitable to money-losing in an instant. Airlines scrap for every last passenger because they have to.
