All the armchair quarterbacks want to say essentially "you should have known they were wrong"...Think about that statement and then somebody tell me how this is anybody but DL's fault.

I would also say that given the reaction here if they were going to go with a zero/reduced mileage plan for the lowest fare they are probably re-thinking it. I know I would if I were in their spot right now.
I completely agree. My post was more directed towards the posters who were saying how this was another "unannounced, unethical change" when it could've just been a simple error. I also agree that this is completely DL's fault--I didn't say that it wasn't.

I give a big ^ and a +1 to the last part of your post...I would imagine that if this was ever their long-term plan that they're re-thinking it now after seeing some of our reactions.
