OK, we're now two weeks into the fiasco of QIK. Realizing Sabre won't come back (although so many wish it would) let's come up with a "wish list" of improvements to QIK. Let's keep this on topic, serious, and specific (maybe start another thread for satirical suggestions.) I thought about only one suggestion per poster but feared that would turn into something like Monty Python's Spanish Inquisition skit *
OK here are mine:
1. Give users the option of using native SHARES along with QIK.
- vendor costs should be minimal since it is already a SHARES product. A couple of US stations already use it (ANC, for one)
- training cost: that depends on what the company puts into it. Former Sabre users should be able to figure it out fairly easily with a prompt sheets.
2. Improve availability displays.
- not sure how much of this is a QIK vs native problem but do know that QIK will not show flights that the CO native system does show.
3. Simplify involuntary reroutes.
- so many problems here. An entire thread could be devoted to it.
3a - allow for three segment invol reroutes.
3b - fewer steps to push e-tkt control to another carrier.
(see, I'm doing the "Our top weapon is surprise. And fear" thing already)
