Selling something as Main, and claiming it really was Basic after the fact - that would be deceptive advertising.

The seats were sold as Economy (not "Main or Coach," and Economy includes Saver and other fare codes (listed in an earlier post), each with its own restrictions. As far as what AS "need(s) to" do and what might be viewed as "deceptive," I'll leave that to the "experts."
