Airline Fare Filing demo

What the demo shows

Turns pricing decisions into checked ATPCO fare and rule filings, for airline pricing analysts

The pricing analyst's desk shows the filings due at the next ATPCO publication and what the agents found. Opening a winter sale puts the analyst's decision on the left in plain words, every amount cited, and on the right what a shopper will actually see in a search once the filing publishes. A decision reader said the memo back, a fare drafter wrote the fare records and the rule categories, a currency agent converted at Treasury's rate, and a shopper agent shopped the draft 64 times in a sandbox; some searches did not match the decision. The agents bring the lines one at a time: one market would sell at $41.20 instead of $412.00 because of a decimal slip on line 7 of the import sheet; a footnote runs two days past the sale; a routing allows a connection the decision ruled out; and a no-show fee the decision is silent on, which the agents ask about instead of guessing. A checker re-derives every amount from the decision alone. The analyst accepts, edits or rejects each line with a reason, the shopper view updates, the analyst signs, and the manager co-signs the 40% cut for the next publication. After publication a watch agent compares bookings with plan and drafts a suppression and a correction when a fare runs away; a manager decides.
