No - the implicit and ethical assumption is that if somebody pays good money for a ticket and turns up at the airport on time he will be given a seat on the aircraft. Legal niceties and fine print do not detract from this.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. I'm also saying that platinum wankers who happily accept that their careless mistake will result in some poor bugger having his day (maybe his whole trip) ruined are unethical.
Perhaps so. I for one would never accept that situation if I were ever to rise to the exalted heights of platinum wankerdom. On the other hand, I find that participating in this forum often leaves me with a feeling of frustration and extreme sadness at the selfish and arrogant attitude of a few members here. I don't think we have a lot in common - I'm outa here.
