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

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