  13. SABRE HISTORY.. AIRLINE RESERVATIONS AFTER THE WAR “A large cross-hatched board dominates one wall, its spaces filled with cryptic notes. At rows of desks sit busy men and women who continually glance from thick reference books to the wall display while continuously talking on the telephone and filling out cards. One man sitting in the back of the room is using field glasses to examine a change that has just been made high on the display board. Clerks and messengers carrying cards and sheets of paper hurry from files to automatic machines. The chatter of teletype and the sound of card sorting equipment fills the air” [-- From “The Virtual Corporation by Davidow and Malone P43]

  15. SABRE Is a classic example of a TP system • reservation system used by AA • Worldspan, Galileo, Patheo, and Abacus • 45 million records • 200,000 new records added daily • 60,000 terminals • 6 mainframes

  16. DISCUSSION What characteristics of TP systems are exhibited by SABRE?
