Given the amount of uncertainty in the markets given recent events, I do wonder whether this was such a clever idea. I have no doubt consumer confidence will go down. And when consumers are less confident about the economy and there is less certainty in the market, what are the chances they'll be booking flights much less on an airline that seems to be changing the rules every couple of months?
