I am confused?
I am confused?Jets link to 11 ways to book a ticket from Skylink.
Okay solarnet was at the bottom.
Sabre Rate Manager was further up, but is of little relevance to us as Skylink are available on SRM through Farelogix rather than SCS
Further up again, Sabre Consolidator. From waht I can figure this is a direct arrangement between Sabre and Skylink (guess they are non too happy with Farelogix, which is maybe why they are talking to SCS?
So SRM and Sabre Consolidator are in Direct copetition far as I can tell. There is no mention of segmant credits for booking through SRM, however booking through Sabre consolidator, Skylink are giving $5 petrol coupons free to the TA with every ticket, and Sabre are giving double segment credits, ie both are pushing Sabre consolidator hard over SRM, even though both are intimatley involved in SRM!
So I wonder, is this why Sabre is delaying with SCS, they want one more stab at the consolidator market by cutting out the middle tier (SCS / Farelogix and hooking up directly to one or more large consolidators, starting with Skylink?
So why am I confused? the guy who wrote the connection between Skylink and Sabre is looking for a new job?????
