Lay My Hat

It seems Dara Khosrowshahi is moving to Uber. Fingers crossed for positive change at HomeAway (anyone know where to submit the CV?)

Don't hold your breath. Expedia still have to recoup their $3.9 billion buyout of HA/OD in 2015.

No more cut price cabs then.

Not so sure that will be so - I would imagine taking more and more money from their 'inventory', aka, the poor cab driver. Or do you think, there will now be something akin to a booking fee?

I might be mistaken as do not know the facts but if they bought HA/OD for $3.9bn they do not have to 'recoup' that much money but have to see a 'return' on it.

Maybe. But Dara will do what Dara does i.e milk it for all it's worth from both ends. Gotta justify that mega salary somehow.
