I think that's the main worry... how will airlines use this decision to influence potential future DOT actions against mistake fares?

Will they try and argue that mistakes, originating in foreign countries, where they allege passengers are 'predatory' or 'acting unfairly' should somehow be excluded from the mistake fare provisions? Could DOT agree with the airlines that protection should not be offered in those cases?
