Actually I am not trying to apply to any certain fare situation. I posted earlier today but that has been resolved. CO let my buddy change his flights to DCA and issued a voucher for the difference. I just happened to start reading in the meantime, and this made me very curious.

Also I am a lawyer. What I am getting at is that this does not look kosher. I am most likely missing something, but the way its worded seems very unfair to me. I am not saying that CO practices this. However whether or not they practice what they write, you should have a contract that is fundamentally fair. My interpretation of it is fundamentally unfair. Its contracts like these (assuming it really is the way I read it) that will have me look elsewhere when I do not need to fly CO. I read AA's contract and to me it reads much more pro consumer.

I think that we should not be so quick to dismiss any questions regarding the contract. And it is good to understand the rules. All I am saying is that the way I read the rules they are very unfair. I am admitting that I am probably misinterpreting something, and giving CO the benefit of the doubt, I am trying to understand what that is.

Truth be told, if my interpretation is the way the contract really is, then I will avoid CO and encourage friends and family to do so. You should not do business with contracts that are so one sided even if they are not normally enforced.
