Good post and links from Hilow1 on Yahoo: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Here are the facts: - if you look at IFLY's last earning report and take the revenue divided by the booking, it comes out to be about 15%. IFLY earns normal commission and also override commission from the airlines. - here in this news piece, it said that the commission cap to travel agents was recently cut to $100 by some airlines from some higher number, and the travel agents are crying over it. But compared to the cap of $10 for online travel companies, that's a much better rate. times-union.com - here in this article, online travel companies are asking the government help to make the airlines pay more commission. When private companies have to go to the government for help, they must get very desperate. times-union.com The fact from the earnings report remains that IFLY IS MAKING 15% COMMISSION RATE. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hugely superior business model is the strongest point for IFLY for me, closely followed by them taking the lead with interactive technology and the increased sales that will be closed through the human element.

Loucifer: I am not short (yet) this joke. Clearly, not one "investor" has gone to freeedgar.com, read management's employment history from the IFLY S1 and posted it here. IF someone does not, I will consider doing it myself (again) and posting managements U4's here. And trust me, it won't be at an opportune time. If I ain't short, I can't be desperate now can I? But boy, with lame posts like yours, do I smell blood. "DO NOT WAVER" = PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
