I would think they would more than welcome someone WANTING to use their airline, or maybe they think they have enough customers.
I need to book my 1/5 Shanghai trip, maybe I'll use them anyway, and put a refundable ticket on their books.
Yeah. Some kind of response. I offered them 70 round trips spread among 5 flyers if they responded within 10 days. And the first peep I heard from them took 19 days. I thought they would be anxious for the business. But their system is rigid. I finally started booking my January trips even without the status. Ugh!
