Maybe someone got it backwards. Maybe what they meant was that they weren't
getting enough miles for trips. If Virgin Airlines is using nautical miles
instead of land miles to due the computations, I could see where people were
getting less then they thought..
Just remember, most people don't think there is a difference in the two
units. A mile is a mile is a mile.
Just a thought.

Keiner ist hoffnungsloser versklavt als derjenige, der irrt�mlich glaubt
frei zu sein.
There are none more hopelessly enslaved then those who falsely believe they
are free!
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
