Dreaming again
Won't it be nice if as a passenger we could use the same rules on the airlines that they use on us.
That we could charge the airline a change fee like they do us that will be $150 please.
Or my favorite charge them the fare difference to get back on a non-stop plus the change fee.
But then again I would be happy enough to get my actual money back, not monopoly money (voucher) if it actually made that big of a difference to me.
And then I woke up.

That's a good point...There are various taxes and 9/11 fees associated with every take-off and landing cycle. So a nonstop from LAX to BOS will be charged less in taxes than a LAX-DFW-BOS flight. Let's say AA reschedules you from the LAX-DFW-BOS to the nonstop. That means that there's about $20 or $30 in taxes that AA doesn't have to pay. We all know that you don't get a refund in such an event, and I'd bet dollars to donuts that AA doesn't pay the $$ to the FAA...they just pocket the difference.
