Kwiminyaka emininzi eyadlulayo phambi kokuvalwa kwekhomishini, ndangenisa ithisisi ye-CTC [uMcebisi oQinisekisiweyo wokuHamba] enesihloko esithi "Inqwelomoya: Umhlobo okanye utshaba." Ngokusisiseko, yayikukulumkisa ii-arhente ukuba kukho abahlanganisi, kunye neentlawulo zokuziphatha eziya kuba zintsha kwiiarhente. Abadibanisi ngelo xesha babengakwazi ukuthengisa, ekhaya, iimoto, uhambo lokuhamba ngenqanawa kodwa ziintlawulo ezisisiseko kuphela ababethethana ngazo.
Ithisisi yayingekokukhathaza iinqwelomoya kodwa ukunceda abameli baqonde ukuba sasikwimeko eyodwa yokuthengisa ihlabathi hayi nje amaqhekeza. Kulungile umbandela waliwe ngenxa yokuba i-CTC yayingafuni ukubeka ingqalelo kwiinqwelomoya "kwindawo embi" xa yonke into endandifuna ukuyenza yayikukuvumela ii-arhente ukuba ziqalise ukuthengisa iimali zobuhlanga ngaphandle.
Ngoku abadibanisi bayakwazi ukuthengisa nantoni na abanokuthi baxoxisane ngayo kwaye ii-arhente zilwela ukusinda. I-ARC [I-Airlines Reporting Corporation] ibonisa ukuba ayikwazi ukwenza inkonzo/ukuthengisa umoya, kodwa inokuthengisa i-inshorensi, ii-visa, iincwadana zokundwendwela kwaye izame ukunyusa imirhumo yethu. Kutheni ungafumani nje awona maxabiso aphantsi anokufumaneka kwii-arhente ezisemthethweni ezingamalungu e-ARC kwaye emva koko wahlule ubulungu ukuya kutsho kwizitena nodaka, ii-arhente zangaphandle, ababuki zindwendwe kunye neendleko ngokweentlawulo?
Andikhange ndicinge kakhulu ngamacandelo e-ARC kodwa ndicinga ukuba ingcono kakhulu kuzo zonke ezinye izinto abazityhalayo, ngakumbi njengoko benokwenza ingxelo ngokuthe ngqo kwinkampani nganye yeenqwelomoya. Kodwa kwakhona, loo nto isenokuba ichasene nemigaqo-nkqubo yenqwelo-moya. [Akubonakali] kufanelekile.

INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- I have not given too much thought of the sections for ARC but think it is a lot better than all the other stuff they are pushing, especially since they can do the reporting directly to each of the member airlines.
- The thesis was not to alarm the airlines but to help agents realize that we were in a unique position to sell the world and not just pieces.
- Why not just get the lowest fares possible to the legit agents who are members of ARC and then divide the membership up to brick and mortar, outside agents, hosts and cost according for the dues.
