Price of tickets would not go up. All they need to do is have a policy that says that they will charge XX number of dollars for a name change or a refund. They would not lose any money and would have happier clients!!
@ Judge
The Full Fare price IS THE PENALTY!! So we are not talking about a 10% or 20% penalty. We are talking about 100% penalty. And your answer to buying a full fare ticket, that's a 200% penalty.....
If there were to be a FAIR PENALTY in the T & C, then both the airline and the gov still make money - it's a non-issue. As the penalty would be taxable....
So the airline would still make $$, the Gov would still make money and the clients would be happier and more sympathetic to the airline situations.
Currently, I think if you ask anyone about "how they feel" about AA possibly going bankrupt and the majority of the clients are going to say GREAT!! I'm glad they are losing money!! They've been stealing from me for to long!!
You will not hear anybody say anything like: I feel so bad for them. They worked so hard. But it just wasn't meant to be.
Reason?? Nobody likes to get Screwed over!! And in today's airline industry, we are being screwed over.....By unfair T & C policies.....
