No need to assume, my tickets were purchased for a Nov. 12th departure. Yes, they will in fact refund but they will not get me where I need to go on the same departure date without paying an additional $80 for the flight. What US Airways has done was to cancel the flight and then offer the same flight but at a higher rate. That is why the 240 rule was in place. That is why I will drive before I fly. It's clearly a bait and switch tactic which goes uncontrolled thanks to derugulation. My point is why even bother with booking early when they can just dump you. The catch is that you cannot dump them without a penalty. The sign says one way.....
