Go on, file that class action lawsuit. The lawyer that files it for you will get millions, and you'll get a coupon. AMR will settle without admitting any wrongdoing, paying off the sleazeball that took your case in the process, while you get NOTHING!!!!!!</font>
Why so vehement, mdtony? I've noticed a number of places on the board where you've posted emotional comments of this nature. Did you once lose a lawsuit or something?

If you have an opinion, why not just state it rather than resorting to paralogisms and calling people names?

The fact remains that fundamental fairness and consumer protection is still a consideration, and in the past complaints (and yes, even class action lawsuits) have altered proposed actions by airlines and others to suddenly change the value of points/miles already earned. Could it in this case? Who knows, but to some it may be worth trying.

You may think it won't work (we've gleaned that); now let's move on to something that hasn't already been said.
