Good for AA. Cutting out middlemen is what the Internet is for, and Sabre takes a healthy cut. Good luck. I'm looking forward to cheaper rates when the other airlines pile on. For those that didn't read the Chicago Tribune article, AA will let Orbitz sell their tickets only if they talk directly to AA, but not through Sabre.

Your comment is especially amusing given the lineage of Sabre. In fact, wasn't the original internetwork-facing version of Sabre called Saabre?
