Oh well, the "Happy Thread", sadly, did not get as much traction as I had hoped for. I had asked for no negative comments there, but they did slip in. So here is the Unhappy Thread. Let's keep it reasonably civilized, everyone....OK?
To start off: QIK/SHARES! If ever there was a case for cheaper is not always better, here yinz are. There is a world of difference between "almost as good, and a lot cheaper" and "not nearly as good, and only a little less expensive".
Was any sort of quantitative study ever of the greatly increased transaction time in QIK/SHARES? Not just how many more keystrokes, but of how just plain slower it is?
Why not let agents choose between the GUI overlay of QIK vs native SHARES?
(CO does this, just about everyone eschews their GUI overlay in favor of native SHARES.)
But, deep down, it just plain does not work very well. Does anyone know of an experienced Sabre user who actually prefers QIK/SHARES? ( I do not) Both Sabre and SHARES are run by EDS Does anyone truly believe that a deal could not have been worked out with EDS for a better deal on Sabre?
But there are so many things that could have been handled better in the merger. Here yinz are, go for it, in a civilized manner, please.
