In short, Travelocity and Expedia are taking steps to punish United Airlines for dropping travel agency commissions in response to other major carriers' decisions. However, United is targeted specifically due to its refusal to compensate Travelocity and Expedia in other ways through sales target and incentive-based programs.

Looks like United is digging its own grave again.
