Oiy.... Perhaps I don't know everything.

While we are on topic, when going through DL loads to TLV there are very little Z classes, its not rear to see a flight with several J/C/D classes. Boy did they do a good move with pulling Out the Z class. Now they make the money...

Delta has a reputation for deliberately pulling lower fare classes as a way of manipulating the market, without having to admit that that's what they're doing. For example, with award tickets - someone pointed out that Delta has the chutzpah to brag that they don't charge an "expedite fee" when booking within 21 days of departure; yet on most (all?) domestic routes, their lowest tier is "mysteriously" unavailable EXACTLY 21 days before travel. So that at the end of the day, you don't have to pay a $75 fee, but you have to pay more miles instead.

If you charge your customers a $75 fee, people complain that you're greedy. But if your low-tier inventory is "coincidentally" depleted just when it's needed, no one can point a finger... convenient, eh?

Same here. Don't let them BS you that "some seats were already sold, that's why Z class is unavailable". It could be a completely empty flight, and yet they'll pull the lower classes if they feel like it.

Sabre news:
Important: 1234 EPRs to be automatically deleted by June 22
The idea of using employee profile records (EPRs) to gain unauthorized access into systems isn't new. Unfortunately, this tactic is on the rise.

To help protect customer information and create a more secure environment, Sabre will begin deleting the 1234 EPR accounts beginning on or about June 22. These EPRs, assigned for temporary use only, are easily guessed and pose a fraud risk to travel agencies.

Action required:
•If you have or are using a 1234 EPR, create a new EPR. Then delete the 1234 EPR.
•Do not create new 1234 EPRs.

Secure password management requires diligence in using a password that's difficult to guess, never sharing your password, never writing it down where others can find it, and promptly changing or re-creating your password if you suspect someone else knows it.

Make sure you know if someone else is trying to change your login information: use the Password Management Tool (PMT) to get notifications of password changes.

I changed from NU a long time ago, but this is a PITA. Unfortunately switching NU does nothing for system security

They probably do their accounting by pen and paper. The department was getting overworked.

A customer used an upgrade and the original segment now shows HX and there's a new segment in the upgrade booking code with HK, can/should I delete the HX segment? is there any reason not to?
