Probably not any winners. Just another option (at WN) if one wants to play the numbers out. If it works great..if not, oh well. Using WN as an example, they are not going to loose sleep over "losing" a few dollars; if it was the case. Heck, their frequent flyer program is a good example of that. They just keep a loyal customer just like any other airline.
