In this case, it isn't yield management as you got closer to depature. The seat you were in had been sold months before to a third-party clearninghouse, in your case I think site59.com, which is in fact a SABRE company. DL's revenue was not changed by your purchase -- site59 had been holding this seat and was paying DL on it whether they sold it to you or not. The pricing model is indeed rapidly transforming as third parties find they can get in the middle of the distribution chain once again. Except these third party companies are not something the industry has seen before. "Wholesalers" of the 1970's were not, because of technology, able to be as dynamic and generally went away after deregulation. This is a new animal. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
