They're not destroying my trust, and I've flown over 1 million paid miles with them the last 8 years. I don't have the expectation that I can fly to Australia in first class for $1,200, which is basically the price of a coach ticket, and expect them to eat the additional costs in this economy. Didn't someone post upstream that this could cost them a couple million dollars if they honored all the purchases?
