Who the hell is going to track all that stuff
I work for a small company, we have one beancounter and the owner.
Fewer cancellations....LOL
I routinely book 2-3 tickets for consecutive days just in case stuff changes, plus on the back end when I leave a job, I book tickets every day based on when the job might end, then cancel unused. If I hadn't done that, I wouldn't have flown Christmas Eve. I can't imagine trying to track what money goes where?
You are also asking paying customers to pay extra fees to cover the fact that non paying customers had a false alarm and made me buy a plane ticket, then ultimately had me not fly.
What you say sounds great, but I just don't see how it would work in practice. Also, we already charge 15%, so we would have to go to 30% to have extra for the fund.
I called my boss earlier today and asked him, he laughed at me.
