Sabre Products

I know Allegiant doesn't (kill me...) as well as American and Southwest.

Republic Airways, Endeavor, NoGoJet, Compass, and Air Wisconsin, (I believe for the last two) do use their products.

Man...just thinking about Sabre brings a tear to my eye. I could finish a release a release with Sabre quicker than I could open a flight in NavTech.
 
Trans States, Gojet and soon Compass do not use Sabre. They use LIDO.

American does use Sabre...

If I'm not mistaken, American developed and then sold off Sabre.
 
Most majors are transitioning to Jepp or in-house products. United dispatch only runs Sabre in the background, they use a much more advanced interface to plan flights.

Navtech is a good product as it provides virtually everything a dispatcher might need access to in flight planning on one nice screen layout. Derriko mentions the speed which should be changing soon for one airline that uses it ;)

Personally, I'd take Navtech over Sabre any day, I do not miss the Dispatch Monitor as it was not as advanced or professional as a planning client should be. There are other Sabre products that are really good, but not the monitor.
 
FedEx is Jepp engine with a home built GUI on the front end. The legacy Jepp engine has its issues especially when it comes to ETOPS.

My information comes form someone in dispatch there, perhaps there has been a change in the last couple of months?

I did hear they are switching to Aerodata for runway performance.

Share FPM which runs the backend and is the GUI has been around since I believe 2012. But you are correct, Aerodata is coming. However it will be ran right in FPM similar to how the current Sabre FPM SCAP data is.
 
Both L-AA and L-US used Sabre DECS before the merger and we will continue so for the foreseeable future. It hasnt changed much since the 1970s. Its very fast and rarely crashes. Envoy uses DECS as well.

There was a plan at L-AA to transition to a Jepp product but there were a number of issues with it. The manager that was running it is now in prison and the program has been basically shelved indefinitely. Who knows when or what system will replace DECS.

Southwest uses an in-house product for dispatching flights.

DECS is about as bullet proof as they come these days.

A lot of stuff didn't make sense on the LUS side until the SFP cutover, but for a system that is 50+ years old, it is impressive.

You may be referring to DV which is more or less the flight following tool... but no planning is done in it. It can be used it to make amendments, however.
