Now that's some detective work. Wowza.

I can't see how this can't hurt them (widero) in the long run.
I'd hope they know more about the backend than us.
They must believe they're totally in the clear to have done this.  And I'm sure they made a killing.

Or maybe they weren't planning on it leaking?

Hmm. What if UA tells DOT it was intentional fraud? Could they be off the hook now?

Explicitly writing it on FT is not leaking?

I think he meant leaking their identity.

Never the less, it was still leaking? Why else would they post it?

I still don't understand. Let's say I book today on united ticketed by wf, no glitch, ewr-mxp. Base fare is $130, $400 yq. United only gets $130?


Separate q. If true, why wouldn't wf publish new fares with $200 yq. Make tons of cash. Are they not allowed?
Bump?

What do you think they get per booking? Estimates on total booking?

Damage seems to be around 15k tickets purchased.

I thought Chaikal or s/o had posted about this previously. It isn't too much per ticket.

Guess based on nothing:
The ticketing carrier gets the YQ only non revenue. That seems to answer most questions.

Just insane!! The CEO would leak it to e/o so they could collect commissions. Wow.
Wonder if this will help UA and Ameduas if they want to fight them on the fares.

Wow
Wow!
