Not writing it off at all Noodle.
However, the decision o purchase was taken when all of the QF Airport operational managers were at a conference in he US,
The system is fine for what it is, and that is a hosting database designed for Euro carriers with minimal hubbing and very limited flights over particular sectors.
That is fine even for BA who seem to be a mover and shaker in this purchase, but it is currently totally inadequate for a carrier such as QF with up to six ways to get from A to B over multiple hubs and mini hubs.
There needs to be a significant amount of development before Amadeus comes anywhere near Qube or Qantam standards, and they are all lightyears behind Univac based systems.
Their day may well come though. I hope it is soon.
Best regards.
