	Sabre launches new reservations system
		The new reservations engine is designed for a heterogeneous computing world in which Sabre won't do anywhere near the amount of technological hand-holding it once did for airlines and other users of the system.
		Airlines and travel agencies should now be able to run reservation centers with as many as 1,000 workers using either a traditional PC network or a Web-based setup that involves thin-client desktop devices, Sabre said.
		Dahlstrom said the airline is also looking into using the new Sabre system to create a data warehouse of passenger records as well as a separate database that would keep track of customers who buy large amounts of tickets.

	Sabre (computer system) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sabre is a computer reservations system used by airlines, railways, hotels, and other travel companies.
		Their system for booking flights was entirely manual, having developed from the techniques originally developed at their Little Rock, AR reservations center in the 1920s.
		The system also had limited room for growth, it was limited to about eight operators because that's all you could fit around the file, so in order to handle more queries the only solution was to add more layers of hierarchy to filter down requests into batches.

	Real-time operating system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An RTOS facilitates the creation of real-time systems, but does not guarantee that they are real-time; this requires correct development of the system level software.
		An early example of a large-scale real-time operating system was the so-called "control program" developed by American Airlines and IBM for the Sabre Airline Reservations System.
		The only multitasking problem that multitasked systems have to solve is that they cannot use the same data or hardware at the same time.

	Airline Reservations: Table of Contents \| Macmillan Computer Sciences: Social Applications
		Airline reservation systems originated in the mid-1950s as relatively unsophisticated internal systems to help with tasks such as seat assignments, maintenance scheduling, and aircraft loading.
		The immediate impact of the Sabre System implementation was a reduction in the reservation error rate to less than one percent, and a 30 percent savings on investment in personnel.
		Because of the prohibitive cost of developing their own computerized reservation systems, the airlines ultimately agreed to pay the per ticket booking fee to the major computerized reservations providers, and a code-sharing scheme was developed to help alleviate the screen order bias.

		Travelocity, which is 70 percent owned by airline-reservations system company Sabre, said it sold $630 million worth of travel tickets in the quarter, down from $696 million in last year's fourth quarter.
		Airlines have protested that screening procedures may created additional delays in the boarding process, making it difficult for them to attract passengers in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
		The report said a Continental Airlines DC-10 shed a piece of metal known as a wear strip onto a runway that the ill-fated Concorde later used for takeoff.

	Passenger Rail Questions and Answers
		Airline transportation is the most important travel service sold through the systems, and airlines obtain a larger share of their revenues from CRS bookings (sales made through the systems) than do other travel suppliers.
		Sabre alleges that it seeks to exit the equipment-leasing business, that 73 percent of the equipment used by Sabre subscribers will be provided by third parties by the end of 2003, and that 62.5 percent of their equipment was being provided by third parties as of November 2002.
		Airlines then relied on travel agencies for distribution and had no practical ability to induce travel agencies to use systems charging lower fees, and travel agencies did not choose systems on the basis of their treatment of airlines.

	Y2K: (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-16)
		Rumor has it that some airlines are not accepting flight reservations for January 1, 2000, for fear of major confusion in the worldwide air traffic control system.
		In many cases, computer-based infrastructures originated as self-contained systems, such as the ERMA check-processing system, developed in the 1950s by the Bank of America, or the SABRE airline reservations system of the early 1960s, created by IBM and American Airlines.
		Unlike the system builders, very few of the network builders nor the protocol builders have become well-known public figures, perhaps precisely because protocols are infrastructural, lying beneath the horizon of salient uses.

	Hospitality Net - Industry News - Airline Reservations Systems Face Internet Threat
		Ironically, it is the airlines themselves that are threatening the existence of their own computer reservation systems by establishing web sites on which consumers will be able to directly book their own flights.
		Sabre, the largest system in the U.S. with 44 percent of travel agent bookings, is also the oldest, having been established in the 1950s.
		Indeed, computer reservations systems firms already are investing millions of dollars to develop programs designed to ensure that they will be the provider of choice for those who book flights, hotels and rental cars on-line.

		So airline management knows not to have any large percentage of employees out at that time, all planes should be functioning, all terminal repairs should be complete, and any extra hiring needed to handle the increased workload should be trained and ready to go for the holiday rush.
		The airline industry is notably one of the most difficult industries in which to plan schedules, due to the competitive and dynamic nature of the industry.
		System One, a knowledge management system used by Continental Airlines, is one of the systems that marketers are trying to make universally applicable in other industries, such as trucking and railroads.

	Airline Ticket Consolidators and Bucket Shops FAQ
		The system the airlines have developed for preserving the cartel while actually selling discounted tickets at less than official fares relies on the intermediary of the travel agency, and the loophole that neither IATA nor international airfare treaties restricts how much commission an airline can pay an agent for selling a ticket.
		Airlines wait until they have a good idea how full their planes will be (based on advance booking levels) before they decide how deeply they need to discount their tickets to consolidators to fill their planes.
		Even some airlines that have only one coach booking class require reservations for special fares to be made only by agents either directly with the airline, through designated consolidators, or in special booking classes which are not listed in the OAG and whose existence the airlines won't even admit to retail callers.

		It is a fallacy to believe that this type of operating system is "efficient" in the sense of having high throughput.
		Many real-time operating systems have scheduler and hardware driver designs that minimize the periods for which interrupts are disabled, a number sometimes called the interrupt latency.
		Many also include special forms of memory management that limit the possibility of memory fragmentation and assure a minimal upper bound on memory allocation and deallocation times.
