It actually is. Came from Finance/Audit last month:
According to an analysis, of the 77% booking, 97% are booked in fully flexible, but only 9.3% of all tickets are being changed and 0.6% are being refunded.
Therefore, we are stopping the purchase of fully flexible fares with immediate effect; unless this is the lowest logical fare.
Now the only policy is to buy cheapest ticket to the destination or a ticket which does not exceed more than 15% of the price of the 'lowest logical' (read - published) fare. So if Delta/United for example offers SIN-SFO-SIN for $2000 and it is the cheapest flight available, then you can buy flight which is $2300 but not a cent more. And that's even a case if cheapest flight has 23 hours of connection time and the one with 20% more expensive - 2h connection.

I can get them there as well. I was rather more interested in personal experience.
