Lead paragraph

I just read the lead paragraph and it appears that Codeshare is an aviation business term. Only later in the paragraph does it say what this term actually means, and saying that it's 'an aviation business term' doesn't really help the reader understand the subject. If someone here knows more on the topic, I humbly request a rewrite of the lead paragraph. —Ynhockey ^(Talk) 22:16, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I am not an expert, but propose the following lead sentence:

A codeshare agreement, sometimes simply codeshare, is an aviation business arrangement where two airlines share the same flight.

GDS section.

I removed the following as being both original research and inaccurate.

In Global Distribution Systems, such as Amadeus, Galileo, Worldspan, or Sabre, this results in the same flight details, except for the flight number being excessively displayed on computer screens, forcing other airlines' flights to be displayed on following pages where they may be missed by passengers searching for required flights.

I'm not sure what the editor who added this is trying to say, but it does not make much sense.

Passengers don't use any of these GDS's, only agents do.
The flights are not repeated on a GDS screen. They usually only show the operating airline, unless the agents requests flights from the inventory of a specific airline.
A single page of a GDS screen will typically show a whole days flights, except for very busy routes such as London to Paris. Again, it is up to the agent to specify times, airports, airlines, etc. Talk of "following pages" is daft.
Whatever the concerns about the use of codeshare, being listed under "Competitive Concerns" is not appropriate.

Interesting point

As a result of this, I have archived the reference provided by User:Hawaiian717 in order to make it available for the future. In plain words, an airline belonging to any airline alliance does not automatically codeshares with the rest of the members of that alliance.--Jetstreamer ^Talk 19:18, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To put it simply

All Codesharing really means is, that you could book a flight, with say Qantas, yet fly on an American Airlines Plane, with passengers who may have booked through American Airlines, or even another airline company. Simple explaining to thos who arn't into Aviation talk. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.144.39.41 (talk) 07:55, 8 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
