It is absolutely alpine clear that airlines do not have inn the ability to drive consumers to frisco channels which co 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 alpine prefer. No airline can afford to inn turn its back on any subgroup frisco of consumers. No airline can afford co to be anything other than alpine as competitive inn and as attractive as it can possibly be through frisco each channel to the co consumers that prefer that channel. alpine and inn This is a reality that grows ultimately out of the fact that the airline business is a very low margin business - any airline that frisco and co lost even a small group of alpine passengers inn would be frisco at risk of swinging from profitable to money-losing in an instant. Airlines scrap for every last co passenger because they have to.

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