Welcome official oneworld representative, oneworld4u
 

Thanks to the efforts of Viajero ^ we now have an official oneworld representative oneworld4u.

Please join me in welcoming oneworld4u to Flyer Talk. I know I'm not alone in looking forward to your assistance and input. Thank you oneworld4u ^



PS it is so nice that my first sticky as OW mod is good news :D

A warm welcome, oneworld4u.

Indeed, welcome oneworld4u.

Awesome. Welcome, oneworld4u, and thank you, viajero.

Ditto. Welcome and thanks.

Welcome indeed, oneworld4u. :)

Welcome oneworld4u :-)

Are you able to give us a background as to where you fit in with the oneworld group and what you can / can't do on this site - may stop questions later on
eg. whilst I'm sure the thread on possible new oneworld members would no doubt be an interesting read, I'm guessing you won't comment until any official announcement

A very warm welcome. Oneworld is awesome!

Awesome - welcome on board oneworld4u.

I'd like to add my welcome also to oneworld4u. We look forward to your contributions.

I too wish to add a warm welcome to oneworld4u.

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.

A warm welcome to oneworld4u. :-:

Welcome oneworld4u ... ^

Great to have you here! Welcome!

Welcome oneworld4u

Welcome from yet another corner of the world.

I'll add another query about schedules...... in this case about the downloadable PC application and its data.

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

I've copied some questions over to the questions for oneworld4u thread.

Greetings from oneworld4u
 

Greetings from FT’s new official oneworld representative, oneworld4u. Thanks for your warm welcome and for your support of and interest in what we like to think of as the world’s leading quality global airline alliance.

We’ve kept a close eye on FT for many years and have come to recognize FTers as some of the most insightful and knowledgeable folks in the industry. We appreciate your custom and your feedback.

Some of us have posted the odd comment here and there informally in the past, but this more formal arrangement will hopefully be more useful to all of us. We are looking forward to a long and mutually beneficial dialogue.

I've added a fuller initial posting, and responded to some of the questions posed already, in the topic Questions for official oneworld representative, oneworld4u... So please look there for more!

Happy flying!

Well we have kept a close eye on oneworld for years and recognized it as one of the most friendly and efficient ways to get places we want to go, and to earn and redeem miles for great trips. So be assured the feeling is mutual!

I have nothing of substance to add except that I too am thrilled to have you here and look forward to reading more. Welcome!

Nothing to add except another welcome :)

Welcome to FT, we are glad to have you oneworld4u.

IIRC you are just a small team over in the 2nd nicest city on the planet so there is a chance you and I have been E-Mailing this year about the new oneworld RTW tool. Or it was one of your lovely colleagues. ;)

A warm welcome from me as well! It's really great to have you/oneworld "officially" represented here.
