For our third and final story before the weekend, the Department of Transportation just announced a new move that airlines hate. Automatic refunds. The only thing changing is who has the burden. But that change is everything. Because the burden is a barrier. Now, Yetis, you know Jack and me.
We don't like to dabble in conspiracy theories, but there is one conspiracy theory we're willing to dabble in, right, Jack? I believe airlines drop customer support calls on purpose. Yetis, you just finished spelling your email, your phone number, your frequent flyer number, your date of birth. You explained the situation. They asked for your street address. You gave them three street addresses.
And then, oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. They dropped the call.
Are you kidding?
goodbye. And then you have to decide, am I going to call them back and re-explain all of that to a new customer support person? And Jack, why do we have this airline conspiracy theory, our only conspiracy theory? Because the airlines know that your call is probably about a refund. Your dropped call saved airlines money.
In fact, that customer support agent probably gets a bonus because you didn't call back and you didn't get the refund you were probably going to ask about. We can't verify that, but it feels good to say.
It's just good to get off the chest.
