Wait a second. If every one of these possibilities is restricted so much to make it impossible, what's the difference between that and a non-paper ticket? Most tickets I've ever seen are not transferable, not endorsable, and not refundable! </font>

Remember, there are still full F C and Y tickets out there. When I said transferable, I didn't mean between people but to another airline, etc. And any airlines with agreements can choose to endorse/accept to/from another despite the restriction (such as in the case of a flight cancellation). If you "wrote yourself" a ticket on blank ticket stock, say, an LAX/LHR in F, you'd have a $12K cash equivilent, subject to the ticket # being reported stolen.
