(Travel Pages: if you reply to this, please delete my name first and leave only airline list on the reply to. Thanks) It means if Air Transylvania is on the Sabre system but not on the Amadeus system then Amadeus users will be able to see Air Transylvania. If Southwest isn't on either system then it still won't be accessible to either system.

The agreement enables Sabre Travel Network and Amadeus to providetheir travel agents with the ability to complete bookings on an airline that might not participate in the their respective global distribution system (GDS). The agreement is designed to ensure continued broad and seamless travel agency access to airline inventory and avoid disruptions that might otherwise develop. This will in turn allow travellers that rely on travel agents greater access to the range of available travel options.
