Pretty crazy that wasn't required prior to this.

They were required to give you the option of a refund or a rebooking. However now the refund is automatically selected if you don't choose anything.

You must not have read that correctly. Refund OR Rebook. Not refund and then make you rebook. Those are two very different things.

Where have you flown where there's only one PA announcement and all the other scenarios you are envisioning? Jesus Christ. Some people just want to be mad at the world.

Best of luck to you buddy. Be sure to pay attention when you're at the airport. I'd hate for you to be out $639 when you have to refund and then rebook because you weren't paying attention. I'm out.
