  1. What a cute way to describe CRM (the lemonade video) !

    You've provided a very detailed list of data elements that may be generated / collected from customers by airlines. Through the use of an integrated CRM package, the airline customer can also be recognized consistently no matter which employee or department he/she is dealing with. Sales, Marketing and Customer Service are also able to get feedback from each other thru the system (e.g. a sales person can still follow up what happened to the customer even after the sale, the marketing department can find out whether the customer referrals they made to the sales team actually became paying customers, etc.)

    I like that lemonade video very much, although it seems not related to our original question.
