Inventory Difference Amex vs CO

Interesting thing happened this morning... Was looking for a "B" coach ticket on CO1647 tonight (to change from a B flight tomorrow).. Amex shows A0 D0 Z0 Y7 H7 K4 N4 B4 V0 U0 Q0 I0 S0 W0

but CO reservations says they only have Y. The Rep explained that Amex may have bought H,K,N,B tix and are holding them in their inventory to sell.

Does this make sense? Seems a bit far out....

Alternative explanation: Amex is not always reliable for CO. Try this:

My friends call me Tosser. Actually it's Japanese, and more likely gobbledegook unless you have a Japanese font installed. The first time you do a search it will request that you download the font. Click cancel and you'll be fine. Make sure you use caps for the airports, and entered the date as requested. You choose airline and one fare class at a time, and it will display a wide range of flights and the availability for that class. You should be looking at the third column from the right for your results.

Ok Mr Tosser....

... if you're friend's are British I'd question their nickname of you

My bad, yes.. it is Japanese. I can deal with that... What is the final column on the right? I've got everything else.

Thanks for the tip!

I ignore the final column; I think it's always zero.
And btw, I revel in my British nickname made popular by the great Johnny Rotten at Chelmsford Prison.
