Did you see how well they were maximizing their profits, I was going
to fly out on a different airline and they were going to lose my
business. How is that maximizing their profits? Got it yet!!

Will you please tell me where in my fare rules it says "If you change
your flight we are going to charge you MORE than what you can get the
same ticket for on another airline. When this happens we expect you
to be grinning from ear to ear and give us no grief.and open up your
wallet. Thank you for your understanding"
Not sure why throwing money away is irrelevant. You obviously have a
lot and have no problem paying ridiculous fees. Good for you. You
are why they keep charging these ridiculouos fees, you have no sense
of what a buck is worth. I bet your parents paid for everything when
you were growing up. It must have been nice to be rich.
Please answer this one question. Do you think it is good business to
charge someone almost double for something when they can go to a
competitor for cheaper?
I hardly want your sympathy. My reason for this post is I was
irritated about the ridiculous fees. Again if you think paying twice
as much for a ticket in not ridiculous then that is your opinion. The
highly competitive airline industry is apparent as when I told them I
could get a flight home for less than what they were offering they
came up with a solution. Amazing how that works. Please save your
sympathy for someone who cares.
