The "indian selling inside info" never made sense as all the information available on Trips.net (Booked loads, load estimates) is available to any subscriber to booking engines (SABRE, Travelport, Amadeus etc.) anyway.
That's not quite correct. What they will give you is an overview like this, which is a general synopsis of the flight showing capacity, adjustment for over/under booking, unsold seats, booked, and non-commercial PNRs. This is already commercially sensitive up to a point, which is why I've removed anything that would indicate what flight it is.

Now, here's where it becomes far more critical, where it shows the seats allocated to each subclass within the cabins, which is the type of information that people who are trying to get inside information on rebate and redemption tickets would need. It requires a higher level of access to the system to obtain the more sensitive information below.
