Parker fiddles in Rome while SHARES is in flames

You get what you pay for.


EDS is the one who really f***ed things up -- they are the owner/operator of Shares, and they're also responsible for the operational side of Sabre. It wouldn't surprise me if EDS was also responsible for the project management office tracking progress... it's hard enough to have two different divisions of the same company working on a project, let alone having a third division be responsible for holding the other two accountable.

The res system migration was not perfect, there were some bumps, but EDS is not responsible for any of those bumps. USAirways cut EDS out of much of this.

Don't worry about me. I got a new job.

That was you flipping Burgers at McDonald's

Have you ever worked for a major airline for more than 6 months? You cannot be serious. Sabre worked perfectly for an airline the size of USAir.

Never worked for an airline. But don't confuse that for not knowing IT. Sabre worked perfectly? Sure it did.

Flippin burgers? Not likely. But that was still a mildly funny but not very whitty retort. Try better next time.

Uh, OK. I only had 14 years of experience dealing with Sabre and EDS to form my comments on, and went thru three similar migrations. But what would I know?....

I have never seen EDS allow itself to be cut out of anything related to an implementation, and their main function is to protect customers like US from themselves.

Y'all want to blame US management so bad you can't see the forest thru the trees... They're ultimately responsible in the eyes of the customer, but the underlying fault lies largely with EDS in my opinion.

AS400 systems from 1987 when introduced to 1994 sold 87,000 systems, since that time they had over 800,000 new units placed. Granted AS400's aren't sexy but they are reliable and generate a ton of prints which my company sells hardware and supplies for.

From 2002: Installed base 490,000. 2001 Sales 30,000.

I HAVE WORKED MANY AN PHOENIX FLIGHT WHERE CHAIRMANS, GOLD AND SILVER UPGRADES ON OUR LISTS AREN'T MOVED BECAUSE OF DIRECTORS AND CEO'S ARE TAKING THEM.
ON ANOTHER NOTE, SHARES DOES NOT WORK AND WILL NEVER WORK FOR OUR TYPE OF CLIENTEL. IT IS PREHISTORIC AND SHOULD BE SCRAPPED. I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THE COST RATIO BETWEEN SABRE ANS SHARES. I THINK AT THIS POINT OUR EMPLOYEES MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN INVESTING TOWARD THE ADDITIONAL COST TO KEEP OUR JOBS AND OUR SANITY.

IT HURTS ME TO WATCH OUR CUSTOMERS AND EMPLOYEES GET BEAT UP AND ABUSED WITH THIS SYSTEM ON A DAILY BASIS. FACT, CORPORATE USAIRWAYS WILL NEVER ADMIT THEY HAVE MADE A GRAVE MISTAKE WITH THIS MIGRATION. ALL IT IS IS A "GREASED PIG".
