Changing Flight Penalty?

Changing Flight Penalty?

Waiving the right to remain silent, DevilsPGD said: In message Larry in AZ wrote: Why would anyone do that when they can waste two days looking for an answer on Usenet..? Calling an airline can easily take 30-45 minutes (or at least that has been the case the only times I've ever tried to contact American) Asking on usenet takes 2-3 minutes to post, then another few minutes to read up later on -- You don't "waste two days", since you can continue your life during that "wasted" period. Assuming that someone replies with an informative answer within "a few minutes". In this case, everyone told him the same thing - "Call the airline." but he didn't know that was going to happen, when he posted. tim |

Understood -- But in the general case, asking on usenet can often be far more productive then phoning the company. In this case, I'd change "often" to "rarely"... That all depends on what and where you ask. I can't remember the last time I posted something that didn't at least result in an answer pointing me in the right direction, if not actually answering my question(s) |

wrote: Lots of people don't bother to think before they post. He's just another of them... If you don't understand the airline industry, ticket classes, etc, then it's a perfectly reasonable question. If you do understand such things, you wouldn't be calling. |
