If a bank teller encourages me to rob the bank he works at, it doesn't mitigate the fact I robbed the bank. It doesn't give green lights to customers to rob banks.
I'd also encourage you to take a less anodyne view of contracts as immutable suicide pacts and more like a business arrangement that's beneficial to both parties. If the terms become too onerous companies aren't going to go bankrupt honoring them.
Besides, if he didn't commit fraud, why didn't the courts side with him?
And using legal loopholes to exit unfavorable contracts happens all the time in the real world, it's not some travesty of justice. Sounds like this guy got millions' worth of value for the 400K he spent, he should be happy he got what he did.
No US airline makes money over the long term, except Southwest and JetBlue. All would be out of business by now were it not for government intervention at various times.

No - but if the manager did it probably would (which is how red team pen tests work) because it falls under his remit. You could argue that an booking agent has the authority to advise customers on bookings..
