The guy was just the messenger. Flight isn't until May so I have time to see how this plays out for folks with $1k tickets purchased through IB
in fact, the way IB did is not efficient at all. If they decided not to honour it anyways, why don't push a generic message to everyone who got this sub 1k fare when everyone gets the same offer but trying to call individually?
so far no call for me but expected it will come in soon.
