Wow, so SHARES is done? Never thought this day would come before 2053. (Yes, SHARES and I think other IBM TPF-based reservation systems have a Y2K problem come 2053.)

I guess anyone in IT will expect problems - the question is how big.

I also wonder what differences we will see? Will we be able to make reservations > 330ish days in advance, will the discrepancies between the "reservation" and the "airport" sides disappear, etc.?

I also wonder if UA will end up making this a profit center - outsourcing to to other airlines, etc. like Apollo / SystemOne all over again?

So many questions...
