What?? Even if one accepts the tendentious leftist screed for the purposes of argument (which I will do here), this isn't even remotely like Wal-Mart. The traditional Wal-Mart complaints are that they don't pay employees enough or that they compete with other businesses too effectively. (Occasionally, the complaint is that they are willing to pay suppliers too little.) This airline complaint is that customers who have been explicitly trying to game the system by doing things like purchase $500 airline tickets can't get the free trips or upgrades they want as readily as they could before. It cheapens your anti-Walmart rhetoric to put this in the same class of "oppression". Why would you do such a thing?
