Yep, unfortunately so. (Though it was getting a bit unwieldy.)

When I went to the old timetable website just now:
https://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInform...cTimetable.jsp

... a survey popped up asking what type of user I am (traveler, travel agent, airline employee), along with: "What do you use the AA pdf and pc timetables for?" and "Why do you use the AA pdf or pc timetable?"

Might be an opportunity to directly register your disapproval, if you're upset that these are gone.

Done to survey. I liked to use the AA pdf timetable. Had AA codeshares on other airlines. These are not in the OW timetable

UA pdf timetable has also gone: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...-pdf-gone.html

Thanks! It would be great if we can get those PDF timetables back.

In conjunction with my membership in the EXECUTIVE SKYGUIDE CLUB, I receive a monthly publication: SKYGUIDE, which (seems) to contain most/all of AA important route listings plus listings for lots of other airlines.
PLUSES: it is compact, more routes than AA alone, no computer needed
MINUSES: since it is a printed document, searching is less nice than a PDF document.

Though I like the interactive network and route maps / schedules, they require Internet connectivity to be of use. The utility of the PDFs is that they resided on my tablet or laptop and I could access them when I did not have ready Internet access, "on the fly" in the air or anywhere.

I do carry the combined oneworld timetable world benefits guide PDF, but showing one flight set per page makes it tedious to use and takes up much unnecessary space (40 MB).

I was wondering what happened to it.

The .PDF timetable was handy to look at, especially when looking for alternate close-by cities at AA hubs.

Ugh. The OneWorld .PDF Timetable is AWFUL and takes forever to load.

And as JDiver mentioned, there is literally one city pair per page.

What kind of idiot designed this?!?!?

I used the PDF to get an idea of travel destinations and routes, but I can't say I miss it since it was rarely accurate about future schedule changes, regardless of whether I was looking at times that were 11 months, 3 months, or even 3 weeks in advance.

Unfortunately the oneworld mapper also has stale info about timing and routes. It's not uncommon for it to show me a route but then it can't find and flights that run on a particular segment.

I used the (previous - mainly text based) OneWorld interactive schedule A LOT.
The current map based implementation is GARBAGE.

A PDF schedule would be better than nothing, but when I start planning the next trip towards the end of the year, I suspect Google Flights will be the most useful.

(un)happy wandering
