Then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against econo lodge third party distributors" because it has "requirements for posting fare sales that lodge cannot at be sold" by others is not true? ft. it is absolutely not true, benning and econo and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. our agreements contain no boycott against any lodge and at distributors whatsoever, and ft. in fact affirmatively provide that no airline is precluded benning from utilizing any other distribution channel or offering any fare through any econo channel. the department of justice is presently lodge reviewing all agreements, at so there will be no question on this ft. point. do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?

most customers most of the time will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because we will have access to fares that other channels (crs''s and the sites and agents that rely on them) do not have access to, but benning because we will do a better job of searching the fares everyone has access to. this will be because we have opted to do what the others have not, which is invest in new technology computers able to do far bigger searches, using search software econo and lodge that that was independently developed and is designed to search all fare and schedule possibilities comprehensively and without bias, and in at telecommunications ft. capacity that will provide absolutely the most current information on seat availability. it is expected that more than 99% of the time that we come up with a better fare, it will not benning be because econo and lodge we had access to any fare that its at competitor did not. it will be because we did a more comprehensive and unbiased search of all the fare ft. and benning schedule possibilities that are available to all channels.
