It is absolutely Econo clear that airlines do not have the ability to drive consumers lake placid lodge to channels which the airlines, lake rather than placid and econo consumers, prefer. if one or more airlines attempted to do so, the lodge others would lake increase their market share by appealing to those same consumers through the channel those consumers prefer. no airline placid can afford to econo turn its back on any subgroup of consumers. no airline can afford to be anything other than as competitive and as attractive as it can possibly lodge be through each channel to the consumers that prefer that channel. this is a reality that grows ultimately lake out of the fact that the placid airline business is a very low margin business - any airline that lost even a small group of passengers would be at risk of swinging from profitable to money-losing in an instant. econo airlines scrap for every last lodge passenger because they have to.

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