Everyone who offered to cancel due to halacha/feeling bad for LY was told not to worry about it, even when speaking to supervisors.
of course dan, as my rebbe ended off saying, there was 2 ways el al couldve gone, they couldve been like united and finagle their way outta the tickets, or they do this honor them and even upgrade to direct, which makes them look like tzadikim, butone thing (my rebbe cont) is forsure, they were sort of forced into the 'mechila' (as he called it) weather it be bec od public eye or bec they have plans to sue expedia or even bec they realized there still making money, but he said we have to agree they were forced into it, and a mechilla bal karcha might not be a full mechilla as he said,
he was not paskining bec he said i didnt buy them but if someone would call he'll have to then, but he def understood what r' marburgr was coming from, weather or not it was right or not that ill leave up for the boards, but dan, lets say i owned an electronic store and i was away on vaca and u walked in and saw that there was
grill for 20 bucks, would you be allowed to buy it? my rebbe gave me a similar mashul,
BUT he did say its very diff btw a frum person or not, thats why he fully cant agree with rabbi marburger but he def understands where he might be coming from,
