I think we see these numbers every month and then read a lot into small variations of a few percent up or down. Unless there's a consistent trend of a decent amount I don't really think there's any signficance to a change up or down of around 3%, for any of the airlines.
Worth keeping in mind that even if you had booked directly with Europcar, this probably still would have happened if you'd booked a non-cancellable and inflexible rate. The same thing happens with hotels as well, if you get stuck overnight and can't make it to your destination and you're on a...
Pretty much. You'd get the same outcome if you'd booked them separately or through a travel agent as well.

And given how gravely serious the issue seems to be I do wonder how these people cope with travel in the USA or Europe. Or is travel there something something they're simply not able to do?
I'm just keeping in mind that the Flight Hacks article might not be the whole picture (QFF may have only revealed part of the story) or totally accurate on the finer details.
My guess had been that we'd see something similar to Velocity's three tier pricing for economy classic awards, which was...
