What does this 40% figure mean? Is this by numbers of passengers, revenue or profit (as if)? If by revenue, then the priority is justified - if by number of passengers it is not really justified as the Enterprise first class passenger is going to pay about 30 times the price of a DART ticket. In any normal business, this customer would thus be 30 times as important.
