What do you expect? You complain that you "have no say" in the schedule? Really?? You thought you would? In what part of the world would you "have a say" in that? After the Kansai earthquake I really would have liked to "have a say" how far the trains ran, or when, etc. But I didn't. And you know what? I was happy to be alive, happy to ride my bike by the destroyed houses of friends, some of whom died, and happy to have a job to go to, which wasn't true for some friends whose companies (and bosses) had been destroyed. So get off your high horse and stop sounding like a spoiled, petulant teenager that's been told you have to endure a small amount of hardship. John W.
