I don't know, but I could definitely see it unless they've upgraded = (i.e. thrown out and started over) their system from a few years ago. I = used to support a system that talked to Sabre and what a pain! Having = to calculate dates based on a pseudo-Julian date because they could save = 2 bytes per card (card image), each card having it's own record type in = a specific order, etc. Icky!

Sometimes the good old days weren't!
