Never heard of this company.
If you ever booked an airline ticket, Sabre was probably used at some point.
There’s going to be tons of rightsizing. There is over employment at this time. A good percentage of employees cost businesses more than they produce. As inflation makes doing business more expensive, the weakest links will be chopped. Hopefully, this doesn’t get too political and productive, non-woke employees are not hacked from businesses.
I guess they were spun off from American Airlines.
Back before the internet, that was the only tool available to the general public (through Prodigy - Eaasy Sabre) to compare airline fares. It started off as a unit of American Airlines. Originally targeted at travel agents.
According to this it was also available on Compuserv

Delta had a competing product for travel agents that never really caught on. And there was a third product, also aimed at travel agents from another airline.
They’ve been around for decades. I know because I was in high end hotel upper management for 25 years
Great reservations systems in the 1980s.
They started the first big internet site for reserving airlines and hotels. I believe it became Travelocity.
All these announced lay-offs but few ever show up in the unemployment numbers. I guess the employees all immediately find jobs elsewhere.
It manages most of the system underpinning American flight bookings.
Dunder Mifflin Sabre?
