Bring back the timetable!

I hope AC decides to bring back the timetables. Sure, they become dated after only a few weeks or so, but there was something nice about having the tangible piece in your carry-on. I don't use a Palm, so maybe I'm biased? I assume by not printing them, AC saves $100,000!?!

I recall that AA did away with their timetables in the last year of so, then reversed their decision and brought them back. I hope they return to AC.

It doesn't matter whether they bring them back or not. The way AC is changing planes and flights everyday lately, they are out of date anyways...

From what I've heard, they'll be back once AC finishes fine-tuning their schedule (which, at the earliest, is in a couple of months).

AA brought back their timetable, but they're now one of those cheap-... "build your own connection" thin timetables.

I miss the nice thick timetables AA, UA, CO, TW all used to publish

Think of all those trees that are being saved. But I do agree, a paper version of any sort would be handy since I refuse to get a Palm Pilot or Blueberry or whatever... And while skeds do change, at least one can see the general time of day of flights into and out of some cities.

One of the economic downsides of so many airlines no longer publishing those thick versions of their skeds, is that a little printing company I believe in the London, Ontario area has lost a fair bit of business. They developed a new method of binding such low cost print jobs, so one could fold them open flat, without breaking the cover spine and having the pages force the book closed. Called OTABIND, Randy was one of their early customers when he started publishing his annual Frequent Flyer guidebooks.

You can get the entire * timetable for your PC or Palm from the * website. It works great!
