I'm always amazed that the victims of these corporate thugs never visit
violence upon them. They will complain loud and long to travel agents,
credit card companies, lawyers, friends, etc, but nodody ever seems to
look the guy up and punch him in the nose. Is it timidity, or is the thin
veneer (wood content) of civilization thicker than we think? The concept
of Limited Liability is stretched pretty thin here.

That's not a nightmare, that's just a bad dream. A nightmare would be
dreaming that Kirsty Alley was a good actress and YOU had to eat HER!

Didja hear Jay Leno the other night. "Kirty Alley has pledge $100 to
(some charity) every time she slips off her diet. So far they've
received ten million dollars!"

I think we typically go for the nearest person in the chain!
So, we go to the travel agent, cuz we purchased through them....etc...

I think some ppl get the impression that it's like one of those 'midnight
moves' where the company has dissipated in to the ether and there's no where
to go and yell.

In this case, that's a good idea.

Travel agents in Canada have an insurance fund to cover this kind of
thing. If you booked a JetsGo flight through a travel agent you'll get
a refund. As well, those who booked through agents would have had a
number to call for assistance booking alternate flights when JetsGo
flipped the switch and had the best chance of getting a seat on another
flight.

A travel agent doesn't just go to the same internet site you can and
book your flight for a fee... They work for their money. I'll use my
agent even when I want to rent a vehicle for a week. She charges me $10
and saves me $100.

But people want the "best price" rather than the "best value". And
let's be serious about JetsGo... $1 flights? Across Canada? People
expected them to survive? When they started flying I knew they didn't
have a hope, and there was no way I would have booked with them. Hell,
they had more service complaints that Air Canada, and were less than
1/3 the size of AC. Now THAT'S an accomplishment!
