I understand that, though I am surprised so many of these are here. Most people here should not be of the kind when 1-2 forfeited reservations causes a danger to their finances. Then it was dangerous and not responsible at all to buy these reservations in the first place. Some such comments are clearly warranted, just we have started to see quite a bit more in the recent 2-3 weeks, and the language is getting increasingly aggressive, as if we were not talking about among the hardest hit segment of economy.

Sure. But if the industry is gone, we lost more. We can easily start paying 3-4 times more per trip than we pay now, if things go wrong.
