SHARES is for kindergarteners. The system coming to save the day is





APOLLO

Apollo was bought by Galileo which is owned by Travelport(which owns Orbitz as well) which merged with Worldspan (Delta's system).

I thought worldspan was NW's system.

like when I book a sabre booking for AA the record locator for the pnr is the record locator for AA. If I book a record in SABRE for another airline my sabre locator will not be the the locator for the other airliner.

In worldspan when I book NW the record locator is the record locator for NW.

Actually the only time you get to keep a "common" PNR is when its available on both systems. While US SabreSonic is also used by Hawaiian, Midwest, Frontier, American, Mesa, and a few others.. I've seen some F9, YV, and HA PNRs come back and sometimes it doesn't *shrug*

Worldspan is actually a mix of NW, DL, and, TW, which used to be called PARS. I've worked on both Worldspan (PARS) and Sabre and man what a difference from this QIK/Shares poopoo. Worldspan actually has one of the best help/reference systems of any.

Yes, Worldspan has some nice help functions but they're helpdesk sucks, I think it's in Romania or somewhere in Southeast Europe.

My agency just transitioned from SABRE to worldspan. I kinda preferred SABRE, sometimes I have trouble storing fares when it's the last few seats. If I pop over to sabre and book the same seats I can get a fare to store but for some reason it doesnt store in worldspan. Other than it's a great system. I am sure you'd be pleased as punch to be using it rather than shares/QIK.
