FRAUD: In criminal law, a fraud is an intentional deception made for personal gain ... (Wikipedia)
FRAUD: a) deceit, trickery; specifically : intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with something of value or to surrender a legal right; b) an act of deceiving or misrepresenting (Miriam Webster)
How is it not deception/perversion of the truth to charge
a fuel surcharge which exceeds the per-seat fuel cost?
Take Air Canada's #1 overseas route: YYZ-LHR-YYZ
YYZ-LHR-YYZ: 7112 miles
AC's 2012 Q2 fuel costs, per seat mile: $0.057
hence, per seat fuel cost for YYZ-LHR-YYZ: $405.38
Fuel Scamcharge as charged by Air Canada: $412
Also, check the wording on Aeroplan's website "Fuel Surcharges are passed to the
ticketing carrier" which is Air Canada (note how they don't say operating carrier)
