Just did two SDCs off of revenue tickets and both were booked back into original fare class. This is the norm when you do it over the phone, but often at the airport they put you into Y. Both times, this did not happen. And one time, the agent said to another agent that they arent allowed to IP or OB anymore. I assume the latter means Overbook, but what does IP mean. And have there been new rules put in place (perhaps because of our "blabbering" on FT) that prevent agents from rebooking into Y without the appropriate Y fare being paid?
