- Nightmare? They shouldn't have price-fixed us in the first place!
- I think that one of their provisions is the receipt for the tickets
- purchased. If we sent the overcharge to the U.S. government, I really
- don't think it would be fair to those of us who actually paid for the
- overcharge. This also applies to the airline price reduction plan.

- Also, I heard that the refund might come in the form of rebates on future
- flights. Great. Now it comes after I have nowhere to go...
