Jozef: RE: John, what's your view on frequent flyer programs? I don't like them. I think they should at least be taxed. Or they should be awarded to the company that bought the ticket, not the employee. I believe that is currently a choice of the company - many do keep them for the firm, many let the employees keep them As a tool, they of course distort the market. The bigger the airline, the higher domination of one airline in a single market, the more distorting they are. yeah the big guys have really killed southwest with this tactic ???? These type of market distorting tools are the most dangerous in hands of a monopoly like Intel (95% dollar value of x86 CPUs). Feds may end up with no option but to do something radical with the MSFT and INTC. Instead of doing something as radical as break-up, they should prohibit use of tools like the co-op advertising "rebates". Banning the "rebates" would not do anything that would damage Intel, or make Intel less efficient producer, yet it would open up the competition a little bit. look around, read the papers, this is one of the most competitive businesses in the world Joe
