    Default Interesting Comparison

    Not drawing too many conclusions from this, but it is interesting...

    (number of "FaceBook Fans" for each respective airline, for those that aren't familiar. For some relative comparison, nonrev.net has roughly 18,000 facebook fans. )

    Yeah, I don't totally get it either, but whether we understand it or not, the "under 25" crowd does.

    I suspect somebody in the PR area of the airlines with very few fans ought to get on the ball

    Well, the Air France one is more impressive than it looks... when you consider that its market is primarily the French, it's reasonable to compare it to the population of France, (62 Million) where the others should be compared to the US (307 Million)

    I guess the thought is that the Facebook fans should be somewhat relative to passengers carried, so the spread in the picture should be closer to the spread below:


    Total Passengers Carried - 2009 (International + Domestic)

    Rank Airline Thousands

    1
    Southwest Airlines 101,338

    2 American Airlines 85,720

    3 Delta Air Lines 67,935

    4 China Southern Airlines 65,959

    5 Ryanair 65,282

    6 United Airlines 56,024

    7 Lufthansa 53,223

    8 US Airways 50,975

    9 Air France 47,965

    10 Continental Airlines 44,032

    These figures can't be right, 85,000+ total passengers carried for AA for 2009, I have more friends and family than that.

    The key phrase there is "in thousands". So, 85 *million* pax.

    ok--what does a 20-something do when bored?
    Click "like" on facebook?
    In my opinion, there is no validity to facebook--it's social network of mostly twits. 99 and 44/100% dolts who need to find something better to occupy their minds
    How many friends? Who give a rat's hiney? (Click, I'm a friend!! woohoo--that was a mental challenge!)
    A facebook wall contains so much drivel it's sad. When people start accepting a source like that as a measurement of anything that makes it even sadder.
    I don't buy it.
