I can't see how this would be a positive for us, it's the quirks and differences that create an unlevel playing field, and opportunities for those that know how to take advantage.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

I can't imagine the individual programs would be willing to just give up their individuality (quirks/restrictions/complications etc), it'll probably be more like a GDS for award-booking integration but each program would still have its own chart/rules etc.
