Stripping vs. Commercial Air Travel
ilbbaicnl
Keep it in my pants when I do OTC. If I were a stripper it would stand for I like big bucks and I can not lie.
Is striping the same? Do strippers need PLs who spend $500+ per visit for it to be a worthwhile occupation? Or, can strippers grind out a decent income with PLs who spend $100 per less, and expect strippers to spend at least as much unpaid time hanging out at the table as the time they pay for?

I've seen several first class only airlines go out of business. Nope the revenue enhancers for airlines are the myriad fees, and the belly freight, especially in the larger aircraft.
Numerous airlines that went out of business could be traced to poor management. In that case, stripping may have something in common. Even a stripper who doesn't land a VIP whale, but during a 4 hr. shift sells dances with 6 - 8 different customers who spend $60 on her dances could make a decent living if she doesn't go overboard on her spending.
Further: "Airlines are scrapping first class, but it’s not dead just yet

Maybe strippers should follow suit.
Successful strippers understand the concept of customer service and repeat business.
At Club Desire, the dancers who make the most, make the most on regulars, usually by appointment and new customers are a bonus.
The value proposition for long international flights is a lot better, where a lie flat seat could be the difference between arriving rested and being a zombie. I don't think it's worth the extra outlay but I have friends who swear by it.
I don't have details on the financials of the big players in either industry, but from the outside looking in it would appear that the more successful clubs tend to cater to both. A big part of the value to the bigger spenders is that they get to feel special and be noticed. That works much better when there are a bunch of lower spenders around. With airlines, the ones selling a variety of service levels seem to be doing quite well too. Which would make sense, as there are a variety of buyers out there with different needs and budgets. Varied product lines allow them to operate at scale while still catering to a wide range of customer.
- Having the highest quality at a premium price
- Providing the best value for the dollar
- Meeting a specialized need
Any business can succeed if they do a great job with one of these strategies.
Most airlines have tried to serve both the premium market and the low cost market. As a result, they don’t serve either market very well.
Most clubs run on stage fees or alcohol sales or both. Door fees are a revenue stream but club that gets lots of PLs in the door who don't drink or buy dances isn't gonna thrive.
So for the girls it depends if they make their money through stage tips, dancer drinks, lap dances, or all of the above. If a girl can make $100+ each time in stage she doesn't need to sell a ton of dances. If she makes $1 each from two guys, she needs to make her money elsewhere.
Overall I would say dayshift is more whale and regular dependant and night shift deals more in volume. We've all been to a club that sells alcohol where the naked girls are the entertainment but not the main way the club makes money. Meanwhile juice bar clubs need to sell dances
I think complicating the question is tourist dumb money.
