Comments on: Business-Class Only Silverjet Back in Business? http://rickseaney.com/2008/06/11/business-class-only-silverjet-back-in-business/ Fri, 05 Dec 2008 01:32:20 GMT http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Mike in Pennsylvania, USA http://rickseaney.com/2008/06/11/business-class-only-silverjet-back-in-business/#comment-16323 Mike in Pennsylvania, USA Thu, 12 Jun 2008 02:42:59 +0000 http://rickseaney.com/2008/06/11/business-class-only-silverjet-back-in-business/#comment-16323 If the revived SilverJet is going to honour existing tickets then they should offer a refund to anyone who desires it. It might cost the company 20 million (for 10,000 tickets) but it is the right thing to do. Many of us have booked flights with other airlines since SilverJet said they were not flying anymore. SilverJet broke the contract between us by ceasing operations and telling us to get refunds through ATOL or our credit card companies. Since I have re-booked a July flight, I don't want or need the SilverJet tickets. I will be stuck with two sets of tickets (eight altogether) for the same trip. This is just not right. How can an airline force us to buy competitors tickets and then remove all possibilities of getting our money back? We deserve refunds. Either SilverJet should give all of us refunds or dont honour the old tickets at all. At least then we can claim relief through other channels.

I dont care who takes over what; the passenger (not "customers") still have to bear the burden One would think that the airlines would have more ideas toward their passengers' satisfaction than now is the case.
