>"No, those are your morals." No its common decency and etiquette. These aren't "mine" they are social norms. >"I get that you value the "but we had a deal" criterion for fairness above the other things people value in this situation" Sure everybody is "fine" with this as long as its just chatter on HN. It's all optimization problems and capturing true market value etc. But I'm willing to bet that when you yourself are on the receiving end of an involuntary bump by an Airline your first thought is most certainly not "I'm fine with this."
