Maybe it all depends on who you deal with on the phone...but I agree that the system should be fixed.

The union needs hard quantitative data on the degree of variance and frequency of the accepted fare discrepancies. I recall them mentioning that they want to build a database so there can be queries by city pair, date etc,
Without "proof", the company can just write it off as anecdotal one-of situations. Over the past year about 40% of my deadhead accepted fares are actually purchased for 130-155% of the accepted fare.
VSTOLG4 - it would be good if you could do the same - screen shots/email to ALPA
according to the company over the past several years, your scenario NEVER happens (NEVER did, NEVER will....."not how we have ever done it")
consider yourself extremely lucky if this actually occurred, but don't expect it to ever happen again until/unless we can negotiate a change to the Accepted Fare process.
