I agree. If you are suffering from low loads and you choose discounting as a method to fill those seats, not only are you lowering the average yield on your future sales, you are also lowering the yield on your past sales if you have savvy customers like ajacpril who pick up on these things.

Must be the competition factor as it doesn't make good business sence.

ajacpril, what are the conditions of the refund difference - same fare basis etc??
