The feared uprising of passengers and the possibility of mass opt-out requests never materialized. It seems that though the American public have no desire to have their "junk" touched, they would rather get home as quickly and hassle-free as possible to have Thanksgiving dinner with family.

Anyone who travels has been there at some point. After locking in a nonrefundable ticket, something happens and the ticket needs to be changed. Sometimes, airlines change schedules. It's unfair how passengers are penalized and airlines let themselves off scot-free.
