Saabre Or Shares Shares Or Saabre ?

Has anyone heard what the decision might be on the selection of the reservations system? It should be known in the next few weeks/days. In the long run, I think Sabre would be a smarter move, but it's a contract that could be cancelled before US exits C11 .

I heard/read that the AWA system will prevail.

But I don't remember the source, or even it was reliable.

The Sabre system USAirways bought/rents, I'm told, is pretty dismal. We don't use the state-of-the-art Sabre that American uses. American had already moved past the system USAirways uses even before USAirways started using it in 1999.

Amadeus?

 

[osunut]

It was announced several weeks ago that it will be SHARES. There as a post done then. Parker made the announcement at the State of the Airline address back in June.

I thought that the Philadelphia Inquirer reported today that LF is kicking off the Amadeus reservation system that will be used by ALL *A carriers, including US.

LH and UA to start...

From the news release......

Implementation requirements and plans are being developed to extend the
reach of this industry leading concept to other Star Alliance members in
the near future.

too bad that U will be part of skyteam.

U is not part of Skyteam, it is part of Star Alliance and if you have not noticed the DOJ is not keen on granting anti-trust to the rest of Skyteam.

Having worked Ticket Counter and Gates in my past, I don't have much use for QIK. It's limited if you were really good with the older command line SHARES. QIK is a simple fill in the blanks application. You ask a gate agent to pull up a certain kind of list and if it's not on one of their (F) buttons, they cannot do it. Only a supervisor sine can do everything you could do with the command line SHARES. The user sine and duty code determine what function buttons adtivate.

When I go to the pass bureau at HQ, I always use the older SHARES dumb terminals instead of the QIK PC's. It's just easier for me.

In the Charlotte training center they are beginning training on the SHARES system. I think they're training the trainers first and then send them out through the system like they did with the SABRE implementation.

The computers they're running them on are PC's with Windows XP. Haven't seen any old PACER computers to see if the system will run those though.

They used to train the old way what an entry meant...now it is just which button to hit...if you kow the old shares there is a place-cheat-you can use if you know the old entry to find what you are looking for...QIK is very user friendly...easier to train on...easy to teach to someone who comes in making 7.65 an hour...
