Keep in mind once Alaska finds out about this they will have it removed from KVS, just like UA did when they stopped KVS from screen scraping from United.com.
I don't follow what you're saying here?
* OP said that KVS now has a view of AS-specific availability including CX for people who are using it
* You said that the AS site can be used without downloading or installing anything
* I said that KVS is providing data the AS site isn't
* Some people talk about KVS usage
So no you say "we're discussing the screen scraping of the Alaska award search mobile site" - how does that follow from anything else discussed here? And where is your information that anyone is scraping the AS site coming from? What make it impossible that KVS actually has an agreement with AS or a GDS to get the data from the source?
