I can think of one. Whenever non-compliance is found, there is an immediate adjustment to the percentage balance that must occur along with an immediate cease and desist order that removes the code from our reservations system. Example: The global codeshare/JV is found to be .5% over what they are allowed. That .5% is immediately moved to our side of the ledger... permanently. (That is a 1% swing btw). The company must then immediately remove that code from our reservations system and my no longer sell ANY codeshare/JV tickets on that route. Personally I think the 'global' concept is a trap we will continue to fall into with management that is not beneficial to us. jmho
