The idea of buying a whole plane's worth of refundable tickets just to screw the airline, tempting though it is, would surely backfire. I'd guess the airlines would use it as an excuse to implement a new fee for refunding fully refundable tickets!!!</font>
As a practical matter, anyone who wants more than ten tickets generally gets sent to an airline's Group Sales desk. While its purpose in life is to sell tickets, not to grill people, the agent would catch on pretty quickly that this was bogus.
