Ah yes. I remember those days. And the carbon-copy ticket booklets.

It is not just Swiss. All airlines integrated into GDS follow similar proceedures of agents making reservations / changes and then airline ticketing departments issuing / updating the tickets to match them. @:-)
It's just that some airline ticketing teams are faster at working their queues.
