WASHINGTON -- Hickory Travel Systems joined ARC's agent-airline
joint advisory board for a two-year term, filling a seat left by
Giants, which just finished a term.
The joint advisory board, which consists of six agency and six
airline representatives, reviews all agent-related proposals before
they go to the airline-only ARC board of directors.
On the agency side, ASTA, ARTA and AAA have permanent seats; the
other three seats are rotated every two years.
Carlson Wagonlit Travel and American Express are midway through
terms.
On the airline side, seats are held by American, Delta, America
West, Northwest, United and Southwest.
