EXACTLY.
This nonsense reminds me of:
1. The chocolate price-fixing lawsuit. Did you all get your free chocolate bar or whatever? Are you happy now?
2. Some legal professionals with perhaps no real work to keep them busy
3. People who seems either lazy or clueless or both as to the rules and regs of buying airline tickets (and if you need further examples, check AC's FB page).
I understand Quebec Consumer Protection Laws as well as some of those in California, but anyone who thinks this will be beneficial in the end is as foolish now as they day these suits were filed.
it's bad enough here in nanny-state-centre-of-the-universe
