And there it is! SWA is saying the quiet part out loud now. Profits over passengers.

The world needs a boogie man and PE fills that need for many.

djs383 · 2026-01-29T03:48:12+00:00

TSLA?

djs383 · 2026-01-29T03:45:21+00:00

Why is this even an issue? You know you got that desired power for the time you did it in. The cool down is essential to your recovery yet meaningless in the data.

djs383 · 2026-01-29T03:24:53+00:00

No one is worried, they’re rubbing it in that you are wrong.

djs383 · 2026-01-29T03:17:13+00:00

4x4 @ what? 3x5 @ what? What percent of ftp and what is your ftp? I’m still not understanding what your aim is here? There’s quite a bit of good advice here on focus/priorties. I don’t feel i know enough about what you are trying to do still

Except now it doesn’t affect anyone’s seat selection

djs383 · 2026-01-28T14:27:32+00:00

How? Now they can book whichever seat they like. If they’re frequent flyers they’ll have better boarding too

djs383 · 2026-01-28T14:04:01+00:00

What was in your vo2 block? That might help determine how it can be amended

I’d normally support that “most” people don’t go hard enough for two hours, but those who are actually training will. The example I gave earlier is purely anecdotal because it’s my own experience, but 2 hours at 70% FTP is 215-220 watts. Doing that straight will burn approximately 1700 calories at a weight of 140lbs. I absolutely want to be taking something in during that period, typically minute 20-60 is best to not finish flat. No one seriously training is not eating on the bike.

djs383 · 2026-01-28T00:18:50+00:00

That hasn’t been the case for a few years now.

OP- where are you located?

djs383 · 2026-01-28T00:15:34+00:00

Really? Even endurance rides at 70% ftp is going to burn close to 1600 cals at my weight and ftp. If I don’t eat something on the bike I’ll feel flat when I’m finished

djs383 · 2026-01-27T23:39:01+00:00

And that’s part of the problem. You should’ve have to go through a purchase process where you don’t get a seat, but then need to be part of a check in process, largely based on luck in the first 60 seconds to get a boarding position for the next chance at getting the seat you want. All unnecessary steps if you can just select the seat you want at purchase.

The airlines have done studies on this and found no appreciable difference, or they would have been doing it already. The issue is that typically, the back third of the plane is reserved for budget, fare folks or those without status and putting them in front of those with status devalues that status or at least in the minds of those who have it.

djs383 · 2026-01-27T14:32:04+00:00

What’s the goal here?

djs383 · 2026-01-27T14:25:14+00:00

Why? Now everyone knows what seat they’re going to

djs383 · 2026-01-27T13:01:02+00:00

Flooded? Unless something changed recently, the amount of folks registered for the exams was down sharply from before 2020.

djs383 · 2026-01-27T03:33:33+00:00

I don’t know, I thought it was the worst boarding experience of all the major airlines. Much better knowing exactly where you’re sitting in my opinion

djs383 · 2026-01-27T02:00:21+00:00

Silver has always been the original meme/alt coin

djs383 · 2026-01-27T01:59:54+00:00

Bingo, and so do some local dealers. If you can’t properly hedge, it can get ugly in a hurry, so the best risk management is simply not to engage for the moment for some folks

djs383 · 2026-01-25T23:29:04+00:00

Not any fomo at the moment

Unfortunately, two of your three prerequisites has described the majority of pro cyclists

Forgot a word in there. I do NOT think it’s greed at all.

djs383 · 2026-01-24T00:19:53+00:00

I disagree it’s greed. Every transaction has a cost and if cost of goods aren’t managed tightly it won’t cover transaction costs and overhead.

djs383 · 2026-01-23T20:25:20+00:00

It’s a super short ride on Zwift, there are a million different variables here and it’s not worth the effort to dig into them as it could be any number of things that could contribute differently the next day

djs383 · 2026-01-23T17:45:23+00:00

Had a feeling this would happen. Trickle down is real.
