From what I am hearing my translation of this is that I should book a lot of flights with indy for 2006. Then when they shut down I call up the card company and get my money back. After that, I fly standby for $50. To me this sounds like the deal of a lifetime. Other than $29 indy fairs which are less than the fee, but as far as flights to Vegas or San Juan its a real deal.
It's called a paper ticket, get them while they last... and probably pay a fee for it too. If you hold a paper ticket and dispute the charge, you might get away with it. But what happens if Indy hangs on longer than you expect?

BTW, standby sucks, and it is far from the deal of a lifetime. $200 rt (revenue ticket) on a transcon, now that's a deal of a lifetime.
