Hello,

That's always a possibility, although I'm really not sure I have enough expertise on this specific topic. I'm sure other researchers would be better than me at tackling the debate.

It's just that a lot of statements are made about third class being the 'bread and butter' of the Atlantic traffic, in terms of generating profits, but few figures are ever offered to back up those statements. I can't help wondering if this is one of those opinions that keeps being repeated, and because so many people have said it, everyone thinks that someone else has the evidence to back it up. Indeed, Captian Jack dos not seem to have noticed my post where I asked for evidence to back up his statements -- while he did offer some figures, some of those contradicted the figures I have seen, and it would be nice to see some reliable figures that could be used as a counter-point.

Anyway, thanks for the suggestion.

Best wishes,

Mark.
