IATA Level 2 course
Hi:
I have finished the IATA Level 1 (foundation) course and I have obtained a certificate with O grade. I took a classroom course for the Level 1. I plan on doing the Level 2 course and I have a question. Do I need to go in for a classroom course or can go in for distance learning ? Please advise. Thanks, Sindhu |

For your understanding, in IATA, O stands for outstanding. It is the
letter O and not the number 0. Seemingly similar but very different. |

In order for him to bait you into an argument, he has to deliberately twist the facts and misrepresent them, like he did. He knew it was an O, not a 0. And pretty much anyone could figure out it stood for Outstanding, based on the context you provided. Are you suggesting that I know (or care) how IATA does grading? |

Teddy -- Teddy Message Origin: TRAVEL.com It's difficult to know what to suggest - the question is very non specific and I did my IATA courses over 30 years ago when everything was done by hand including fare calculation and ticket writing. No printers, no computers. In some ways it was easier than today; particularly reservations on a full flight if you knew the right person! And I always remember the daughter of a boss of mine who would come and borrow some revalidation stickers then go the airport, look at the departures board and revalidate her ticket if she had "missed" her original reservation. |

That sounds a little bit the old days when the computer operators at a certain British airline could get cheap standby flights if there was space left on the plane. They booked phantom passengers.

That sounds a little bit the old days when the computer operators at a certain British airline could get cheap standby flights if there was space left on the plane. They booked phantom passengers. T. Before computers all sorts of things went on. In the late 70s I went to India. In those days Indian Airlines (the domestic carrier, not Air India) had a very rudimentary computer but generally used manual procedures. I tried to make reservations but was unable to get confirmations. On arrival in Calcutta I went to the reservations office to find out if I was booked on my next flight (to Delhi). The man disappeared and came back with an enormous piece of paper on which there were about 250 squares, each one had a name in it written by hand in pencil. He asked my name and started looking for it. The names weren't in any kind of order they just wrote a name in an empty square; happily mine was there. That sort of system made it easy for people to get booked on a full plane an eraser used to be a required tool of airline reservations! The advent of computers began a tightening. These days with ET we have arrived at a point where it is easy (but not foolproof) to link a ticket record to a reservation which means unticketed reservations can (and are) cancelled. The idea of phantom bookings to allow staff to travel wasn't limited to one airline by any means but these days an unticketed reservation would be cancelled weeks before departure (and further checks occur as flight gets nearer so even late bookings are cancelled) so it's all a bit pointless. |
