In one case, you can yank some award tickets and there's a good reason to get a hold of Alaska to straighten things out, and Alaska's downside is gone. In the other, there's misrepresentation of identity going on and the people who were being tagged as employees weren't doing anything wrong; it was the travel agency perpetrating an alleged fraud.
