This is where I and perhaps others get confused. If the validating carrier gets to keep the YQ, why wouldn't it collect? You know, it is the pebble in the shoe feeling, that something doesn't make sense.

I realize that you are walking a fine line with respect to what you can reveal. However, I always invite all FT'ers to kindly pm me any info they can't share publicly.

[I am interested in international tix ex-ORD to Europe, India, Japan, on AA or OW when possible, otherwise anyone. So the practical question is who will sell these tickets sans yq, online if possible because that's convenient for all parties, otherwise at some counter at ORD.]
