I dont really know. I imagine it was determined that it wasn't worth continuing to have to keep specially training agents or maintaining access to different GDS systems for a few dozen bookings a year?
Got a good compromise for ya...

At the next MVP lunch, we'll offer up a FT volunteer. You take them into the AS inner sanctum, get them trained on the Qantas GDS and they'll do the bookings for us. Win-win, right?

Ok, maybe not. Thanks for the details. Agree with others that it's entirely reasonable and makes sense.
