I agree, but if this were for an airline as it proposes to be, at least they would presumably be able to access their own ticket prices quickly, or could upgrade their systems such that ticket prices can be available more quickly. Also, they show a map of Europe, so presumably U.S. Department of Transportation regulations wouldn't apply.

Actually, they can't. Airline tickets are not priced the way static inventory in a warehouse is priced. The pricing is dynamic and extremely complex.
