Then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" JW Marriott Hotel New Orleans because it has "requirements for posting fare sales that cannot be marriott hotel in new orleans 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 or offering any fare through any channel. the department of justice is presently reviewing all agreements, so there will be hotel and new no question on this point. do airlines today make all their fares available through all retail channels?

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