Flaco, is it also "stealing" when an airline touts an award that has so many strings and undisclosed limitations on it that its illusory? If so, do you have a lecture for the airlines?</font>
I wouldn't consider it stealing. What did they steal from you?
If they tell you that if you pay X we will give you Y and they misrepresent the nature of Y, then you can argue that they stole X from you.
But if they advertise a wonderful award and then make only 1 seat available making it virtually impossible for anyone to take advantage of the offer, altough it is disgusting, maybe even "false" advertising, maybe even criminal- what could you possibly claim was stolen?
Regarding my lecture to the airlines- I don't think they really care what I think, except in as much as it effects how much money I throw their way, which is nothing significant.
Although I would not be surprised if thelostshark is of the same opinion, being that this is a public forum I chose to express my opinion. thelostshark will probably just sigh at my opinion and ignore it, which is fine. But maybe not.
