“Expedia alleged that United was trying to explicitly harm Expedia as a negotiating tactic.”
Isn’t that how every airline management negotiates?
Please hold on to the handrail and attend to children.

Seems to me that these sites just dump last minute seats at a stop loss for the airlines. It's what has made near 100% load factors possible over the last decade or so. That's why you can try to non rev on a flight that has 20 open seats and hardly any standbys then suddenly an hour before the flight its oversold with 20 revenue standby. People go on the internet and grab those last minute discounts not even knowing they are standby oversells and find out when they check in.
At the end of the day this just seems like a cable dispute though. You know call now and tell Direct TV you love our channel because we get dropped at the end of the month. I'm sure they will get it worked out.
