Depending on what the fare difference was, we might - or might not - have changed. However, refusing to even discuss it (or setting your fare rules so it can't be done) strikes me as a pretty dumb way to run an airline.</font>
QF has commercial reasons for its change policy on the "red-e-deals". And the fare conditions are very clearly printed when you book the fare.
The bottom line is, well, the bottom line. QF remains one of the world's most profitable airlines, and having draconian policies on changing fares is a good revenue protection mechanism.
As to your solution, being to drink the QP out of coffee and beer, that's not such a good way to protect the revenue.
