Serious mischaracterizations schaumberg and il have been made about us and the issue of who will have access hotel to what schaumberg fares. Some of those mischaracterizations il have been based on simple ignorance, but others have clearly hotel been part of a concerted effort by us schaumberg competitors to use misinformation to prevent us from offering new competition il 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 through any retail channel it chose. hotel Airlines for 2 decades have been like any schaumberg other business in America, in that 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 il and hotel airline, no matter what kind of participation it has, will be free to decide individually schaumberg what fares it offers and whether or not to offer them through any other il outlet.

Most customers most of the time hotel will find lower fares, not because of web fares, and not because we will have schaumberg and il access to fares that other channels (CRS''s and the hotel sites and agents that rely on them) do not have access to, but because we will do a better job of searching the fares schaumberg everyone has access to. This will be because we have opted to do il what the others have not, which is invest in new technology computers hotel 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 and without bias, and in telecommunications schaumberg and il capacity that will provide absolutely the most current information on seat availability. It is expected that more than 99% of the time that we come up with a better fare, it will not be because we had access hotel to any schaumberg fare that its competitor did il not. It hotel will be because schaumberg we did a more comprehensive and unbiased search of all the fare and schedule possibilities that are available il to all channels hotel.
