jabird,

Well I can remember and I know how to spell 'Jettison Action', indeed I learned, and how to spell, such words as 'Easy', 'Air', 'German' etc. etc. etc. at school, I can easily remember how to spell Sabena by it standing for 'Such A Bl00dy Experience Never Again', I can remember how to spell SAS by it standing for 'Same As Sabena', indeed I can even recall how to spell Lufthansa by it standing for 'Let Us **** The Hostess And Not Say Anything', one word I have never learned how to spell is such a dumbass name as this cyber airline's ID and if I can't recall how to spell the name it isn't going to be as simple to enter it, followed by 'dot com', in to a browser bar nor indeed a search engine bar as all these other identities I've mentioned.

One can guesstimate how much the agents take just by going to one of these cashback sites, for my last travels I was getting up to 10% or so cashback on my hotel bookings yet my flight booking was only a 1.7% cashback, if you double these cashback figures then that's good for a ballpark figure of how much the agent are charging the airline.

And it needn't cost very much, one of my favoured airlines, one that sounds like they make army knives, they're all over the travel agent sites but these are their more expensive seats, I have never seen their 'Economy Saver' fares on any site except their own website.
