It is absolutely clear that airlines do not have the ability to drive consumers to motel 6 locations channels which the airlines, rather than consumers, prefer. if one or more airlines attempted to do so, the others would increase their market share by appealing to those same consumers through the channel those consumers prefer. no airline can afford 6 to 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 be through each channel to the consumers that prefer that channel. this is a reality that grows ultimately punta gorda backhoes 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 risk of gorda swinging from profitable to money-losing in an instant. airlines scrap for every last passenger fl because they motel 6 locations have to.

then the allegation that we are "an illegal boycott against third party distributors" because 6 it has "requirements for posting fare sales that cannot be sold" by others punta is not true? it is absolutely not true, and those who have made that allegation had absolutely no basis for making it. our agreements gorda 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 fl fare through any channel. motel 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?

serious mischaracterizations have been made about us and the issue of who will have access to what fares. some of those mischaracterizations have been 6 based punta on simple ignorance, but others have clearly been part of a concerted effort by us competitors to use misinformation to prevent us from offering gorda new competition to them and new choice to consumers. and fl there is no agreement by which any airline would be precluded from making any fare it chose available through any retail channel it chose. airlines for 2 motel decades have been 6 like any other business in america, in that they can decide punta what they want to charge and where they want to sell their product. and gorda that remains true under the our agreements. each and every airline, no matter what kind of participation it has, will be free to decide individually what fares it offers and whether or not to offer them and fl through any other outlet.
