This is wild. Are they really asking to be able to take money for a flight, then cacel it and keep the money? That's crazy.

Keep in mind this rule has only been in affect for a little over a year. Airlines weren't being "wild" last year before the change.

They were being pretty annoying, which is why the regulation went into place. The "wildness" is that they're openly trying to make it annoying again.
