Sabre Opening Up to LCCs

The battle ground for the love of LCCs and HVCs has just become a little more interesting. As regular readers know we are strong believers in the emergence of Hybrid (HVC) airlines. Thus far the game has been some what interesting. But recently we have seen Amadeus making a big play for LCCs while at the same time Sabre has been sitting on the sidelines. Now Sabre has come out with all guns blazing.

Will this be enough? It will depend signficantly on the costs. So the battle is now joined. Galileo - where are you in all this?
