JB cut-over to SABRE

How did it go?

So far so good. All the internal propaganda says no major issues, and the wait times for our customers have been very close to a normal day.

 

[wooferdog]

That's good. Usually those things dont go so well...

yea...it's not been bad so far....there will be growing pains for a few weeks though.

it'll be better in the end.

Was easy to J/S on you guys, thanks for the ride home as usual.

Good to hear! I was afraid working the J/S requests were going to get shoved to the back of the line this weekend. Glad to see it isn't happening.

Those of us who have been around for a while know that this was a huge undertaking with lots of risk for negative media coverage. The list of botched reservation switchovers is a long one.

As far as I can tell... we stayed out of the media completely.

It's a long way from being done and will take quite a while for the gate agents to get up to speed.

The jumpseaters all made it on and we stayed off CNN.


"Internal propaganda?" Guess that's a joke. Or maybe you can't even give the company a job well done when they deserve it.

OK then, "well done, company!" That said, we could have completely melted down and there would have been no way to know from internal propaganda. Ever notice that when something really bad happens, we get a press release or a scary once a year briefing in recurrent? We simply can't trust the company to let us know what's really going on. I'm sorry if that offends your tender sensibilities.

Ok... I'll open with this. I'm highly impressed with the way the CSS cutover has been handled by the company. It looks like it has been the best managed "hi vis" item at the company since I've been here (5 years now).

Now... about my "propaganda" comment: It absolutely was NOT a joke. If you aren't smart enough to realize that you are reading "spin" every time you open your company email or look at the company homepage, then I can't help you. And more importantly... the fact that you took exception to my phraseology tells me you need to either fire up the PS3/Xbox, get laid, and/or both!
