I'll break the ice and mention 2 items for oneworld4u's consideration.

The oneworld download timetable in PDF format. I suggest that
1-mileage between cities be added;
2-reduce the frequency of updates to monthly from weekly;
3-reduce the size of the timetable by using a format similiar to American or Qantas PDF timetables.

Lastly, why does oneworld still use 3 or more GDS's for reservations and ticketing? Why not standardize on 1 GDS system across the whole alliance. I would have thought reducing this major cost would be a major priority.

Many of us use the schedules to form (or should I say dream about) the next RTW or Circle Pacific trip that we would like to take. While it would be nice to have an unofficial mileage value when we bring up a city pair, what I would really like to know is what the official period of true schedule availability is for each airline. I could mention one (very popular airline) (but I won't) that seems to not have serious schedule entries beyond about six months where others seem to be fully populated (well at least according to the last guess) out to eleven months. It would be nice to know the levels of reliability......

Thanks and welcome again

But I'm wandering again
