I'm curious if they're still using their mainframe based systems? They've been workhorses over a number of years but show their age when it comes to making quick changes.

From Wikipedia:

  With SABRE up and running, IBM offered 
  its expertise to other airlines, and 
  soon developed Deltamatic for Delta Air 
  Lines on the IBM 7074, and PANAMAC for 
  Pan American World Airways using an IBM 
  7080.
