Thanks,

So as my dad used to say they’ve got us by the short and curlies. In theory any reward customer could find themselves bumped out their cabin if a more lucrative offer comes in for the seat at any time and the airline just had to issue a refund for that leg.

Not very fair

Correct. And also a cash paying customer. If I pay £3,000 for a LHR-LAX J seat (return) and somebody needs a last minute ride they could bump me to Y, pay me the 75% of £1,500 and charge the new passenger £££!
