They can't handle the business they have manually, THAT'S the big deal. If it's done on the net and they program out even, 1000 tickets a day, what is that ? That's income they wouldn't have plus the exposure, plus it makes up for the business that gets turned away. Ck out: priceline.com. If you don't think it's a big deal watch IFLY if it doesn't get up and running soon. JMO

Tony, My travel agent Carlson WT has started charging me $15.00 for issuance of each round trip ticket because airlines are reducing travel agent commisions! I have started using United Connection to get my ticketing done. They have the capability to search all airlines for the cheapest fare. There are 2-3 carriers they don't search, Reno, AirTrans and ??. I think the airlines would like to bring this in house and save the commish for their bottomline. They will not own the market but with codesharing agreements happening price competition will increase and they will need every $ to compete. I was holding warrants looking for a lower entry again. There is room for other players just not sure how many. Everyday IFLY is not online is lost opportunity. JeffG
