IATA bids farewell to paper tickets

However, don't let the facts get in your way. I have a question. How does emailing an e-ticket receipt change whether this is a written contract or not? Isn't a written contract signed by both parties? There weren't email confirmations in 2000. However: 1. Why do you think phone reps always (and still) read you the terms and restrictions when you book a ticket? 2. Supposing the contemporary system malfunctions and no email receipt is ever transmitted by the airline -- where is the writing, signed by the party to be charged? 3. Supposing the email receipt is received, but it reflects the wrong date, or the wrong price or different terms and conditions (e.g. non- refundable when you asked for refundable)? How will you prove up the terms of your "written" agreement? |

IATA bids farewell to paper tickets
In article .com,
wrote: I used to wonder why you drew constant attacks from so many people on the net. Guess I know, don't I? You don't know anything, and never did - just consider your ``legal opinion'' that e-ticket is an oral promise, and that an e-ticket is not a written contract. Why dontcha take this legal opinion to IATA? They'll be delighted to learn that (quote) ``an e-ticket is not a written contract.'' Tell them about California statute of frauds, while you are at it. Sure, you're clearly a well-qualified legal expert. I am not a legal expert, I just know more about e-tickets than a failed lawyer who thinks that ``an e-ticket is an oral promise.'' As I said (though I understand you have trouble with content as well as context), in 2000, when I made those comments, etickets were mad eon the phone and no written confirmations were provided. In 2000, e-tickets were bought online and booked by travel agents. Even when they were booked by phone, airlines always provided e-mail, fax and postal-mail confirmations. There was *never* a time when e-tickets were not accompanied by written confirmations. I've got a stack of written e-ticket receipts and confirmations going back to at least 1997, if not earlier. All you've got is a diploma from a fourth-rate law school noone has heard about, and the delusion that it gives the force of law to any nonsense opinion you happen to hold. You like a lance corporal who, when he barges into a pub, demands to be addressed as ``Mr. Staff Sergeant-Major, Sir!'' Do take your legal opinions to IATA. Tell them that an e-ticket is not a written contract, then let us know where they tell ya to stick it |
