That's great news.

Not sure I will ever fly them, but I know many FTers will surely benefit.

Surprising to me, they offer coach and premium coach in addition to biz, and their idea of "our lowest fares" (biz) between NYC and PAR was over $4000. Perhaps great for unrestricted walk-up, not so much for cheap I-fare travelers.

ITA doesn't seem to include them in its search, either.
