IFLY Under Accumulation By CEO of Major Travel Firm

He has told us as plainly as he knows: he wants more stock.

What is amazing is that more e-travel investors did not jump in and bid this stock up higher.

Had they done so (instead of just the few IFLY longs and daytraders that followed the stock) then today's pop would have been a lot more significant than 1/2 a point or so.

First Internet's 1800USAHotels.com does about $70 million per year in gross reservations which is somewhat similar to IFLY (which will probably do a bit more than that for the year just ended).

1800USAHotels.com is the largest division of First Internet and accounts for most of their gross reservations.

The reason this is significant is due to Vince Vitti's possible goal of a reverse merger of First Internet Travel with 800 Travel.

"That would set up the prospects of a ``reverse merger,'' which basically accomplishes the same thing as an initial public offering by merging a private company with an existing public company. "
