It's funny how until you are in a business, you don't realise how monstrously complicated it can be. I work for another GDS (if Sabre is an "800 pound gorilla", I suppose that makes us a small elephant), and the amount of work that goes into a cutover is just mind-boggling.
And if you think this type of transition is dangerous, consider the fact that this is a switch of the reservation system, not the DCS (departure control). That's when things can get really messy...
- numlocked 15y agoA deep-linked article had a good quote about the complexity of cut-over transition like this: "It is the business equivalent of taking out the brain of a human being, while they are laying on the table and you're having a conversation with them."
