Black Flag / SWA / Tom Troccoli’s Dog
Bands Black Flag SWA Tom Troccoli's Dog Venue - Venue name: Western Michigan University - Address: Student Center West Ballroom - Date: Wednesday, July 24, 1985 - Time: Doors Open 7:30 p.m. - Admission price: $5.00 - No AlcoholToday I'm using up the last of my #SWA #SouthwestAirlines points. If SWA is better priced than others, will fly again. But there's no way I'm paying premium carrier prices for SWA airplanes.
Also, assigned a middle seat w/50% capacity because I wouldn't pay a $48 seat fee per leg? Obnoxious.
Judge Laughs Aloud at #TSA
Court outburst came as agency pursues $48m fine on #SouthwestAirlines for not handling gov mandated Transportation Safety Administration fees on passenger tickets to agency liking.
The $48 Million Fine was demanded of #SWA #Airline for apparently keeping TSA imposed #PassengerFees from cancelled flights that agency mandates, but gov agency claims it is too incompetent and bass ackwards to handle collecting and/or processing itself...

A Fifth Circuit judge openly laughed when the TSA argued it isn’t set up to refund millions of passengers—while defending a $48 million penalty against Southwest for allegedly failing to return the same security fees. The case tests whether an airline has to cut cash refunds for government fees when travel credits expire unused.
