Free Refunds For The Laid-Off

A paid vacation from your job sounds great... until you get laid off and still have to cough up the funds for the trip. If you work in an unstable industry, try flying Flybe where if you get canned, you can cancel your flight for free!

The British low cost carrier calls its free insurance the "Book With Confidence" guarantee, available to people who have worked at their current employer for at least two years. With some 600,000 people in the UK expected to be affected by layoffs this year, this policy could bite Flybe in a big way, but if all of them fly Flybe, that's under 15 percent of their total passenger load.

We'd rather they hired all those people back as fake passengers, but that didn't work out so well the first time.
