While I agree that something is seriously wrong with the OP's situation I am going to address the notion that Airlines have been paying off regulators.
My industry employes lobbyists and we have favorable conditions. Myself and the broader industry make incrementally more money each year.
Airlines I doubt are in the back pockets of anyone. The most regulated business in America. Chronically going bankrupt because of razor thin margins. A business in which flying today is cheaper than it has been since deregulation in 1978. If this is an industry that employs lobbyists its time to ask for a refund.
I'm all for consumers realizing value however, having disdain for business - the providers of jobs and drivers of the economy is sorely misplaced.
