Negation of C

If we negate C and it says "Policies that result in an increase in the number of flights to which consumers have easy access generally work to the disadvantage of consumers." That to me doesn't collapse the conclusion because the term "generally" allows it to be possible that this case is an exception to the rule. Did I negate it incorrectly?

    I think you did negate it correctly, and while the general rule aspect of it would give me pause, I'd argue it still kills the argument. I would probably rephrase the negation of C as "more flights generally hurt consumers." I think we know that the representative must disagree with that. If more flights are generally bad for fliers, then her argument makes little sense that the change was good since it led to more flights.
