Haha, what competition??? Time and time again, the airlines get caught price fixing and price gouging so how are customers better off now? And I'm sorry but using tax payer money to bail them out isn't going to fix anything.

They will want their cake and to eat it. Just like the banks are doing yet again - they've already been caught out in Ireland trying to charge customers insane rates of interest and backdating interest in payment breaks and misleading them.

A certain airline here has also misguided its customers by saying they can only claim vouchers instead of a refund for flight cancellations.

So really my sympathy is non existent.
