You have abolutely no idea what they can sell your forfeited seat for.
For all you know, they might get full fare for it. So don't pretend
you do.

It's the one that says, like they told you, that if you change your
ticket you will pay $100 AND the difference in the fare at that time.
You have said they told you this numerous times and you still don't
get it.

Try serving in the Army for 3 years, getting the GI Bill and using it
to pay for both undergraduate and graduate studies on my own. Want to
try again?

Yes, because most customer will pay them the charges they were quoting
you.

You are simply a contract reneger that doesn't want to pay what he
agreed to, making up all kinds of nonsense like this in the meantime.
I have no sympathy for contract renegers like you, as I have already
said. Don't worry. They either had the notes I said in your record
and you were simply costing them too much so they got rid of you or
the employee giving you the deal violated their rules and might get
fired. In either case, you and your parents must be proud of you. |
