Airlines can cancel your flight at anytime for any reason. Then they can wait an infinite amount of time to refund you. They can leave you stranded at a transfer location. They are all basically owned by a few rich people. If you feel completely safe using public transportation that has a direct line to the feds cash and really doesn’t need your money, that is your decision to rent a seat from them. Supply and demand doesn’t work when one tribe has an infinite amount of money to undersell the competition and allows the taxpayers to flip the bills.
