So airlines serving the U.S. can skirt the refund/hold rule by having reservations handled by a related party that is its own corporation, even if the airline wholly owns the reservation booking company? Let's see how long it is until they go that way.

Travel agents are what, if not sometimes an agent for the airline?

It may depend some on the airline.
Yes.
