No, that is why it is so important to know what is legal and enforceable and what is not!

The point several have been trying to make is that whether it is written in fine print or bold letters, for a lot of reasons, much of what is written in FF programmes is NOT legal and NOT enforceable.

Are you an attorney? Where did you get your law degree? What state bar do you belong to?

I just checked with someone who is one, and he just laughed when I told him that folks thought they could sue AMR if they changed the requirements for awards. As for the class action lawsuit, AMR settled it to avoid litigation. The lawyer who filed it got a ton of money, and the folks who were part of the class probably got 1,000 miles or something like that.

If you really think that you can sue AMR when they do something that is clearly within their power to do -- and which DOES NOT violate any laws -- then I want some of what you are smoking.

If you believe that AMR's terms and conditions violate the law, please cite specific laws that it violates.
