Did you ever bust kids for walking up to the skee-ball targets and dropping balls in the big point ones? What are the consequences of this?

I remember doing this a few times in the early 90s when I was a teenager.

Why did you feel the need to ask this question?

So, I am curious if you think you stand on some sort of moral high ground and what is your justification for thinking so? Breaking an agreement on purpose isn't something I would consider a morally high ground thing to do. If you don't agree with the agreement, don't fly with them.

Have you tried looking at it from the airline's side? This is an industry with historically low profits, when not operating at a net loss. (Though, they may be doing a bit better this year due to the price of oil.) They price certain markets and routes higher or lower depending on demand and availability in order to maximize their revenue, not even necessarily making a profit everywhere. Remember, this is not some publicly funded service paid for by tax payers (At least, not the airline you mentioned.) - this is a private company allowing you to pay to fly through the air on their privately owned jets. This is a company trying to make money to pay their employees and give a return to their investors. Of course they will be upset if you try to game their system.

I have always wondered how employment is affected in situations like what is going on in Syria? Do most people still go to work, or are most people unpaid and staying at home? How do bills get paid if most people are not working? How does it work with food distribution to the grocery stores?

Well wishes, good luck.
