As you correctly stated Bajo, since when has buying in bulk ever cost more?? If anything you get a discount.

Again?

These people are either the most incompetent negotiators or corrupt. AF still has some cleaning up to do.

As I heard on the news the other night, all it would have taken is for those now fired govt officials to call the media and have them broadcast loud and clear that these companies wanted to fleece the govt during a pandemic, during the crisis, and I bet those companies would have quickly lowered their prices. And yet those govt officials didn't notify the media. I wonder why???
