BUT didn't United recently turn a mistake award fare into a mistake award fare sale? Also, I'd hate to see United hide behind rulings such as this every time they make a mistake. I agree with someone who doesn't like Delta that no other airline encountered this mistake because perhaps they paid to have these protections. Is it fair that United can cut those costs by just hiding behind such cases?
I'm not suggesting they'll be successful, just that it seems likely that the topic will pop up while they're discussing things with DoT.
