Remember back in the early 90's I had a backdoor login to the saber system that at that time scheduled all the airlines.

My mom was supposed to come in on a flight from Texas. She wasn't on it. Call my sister and she got on the plane in Texas. Went home, got on my computer, dialed up and logged into the saber net. Did a flight search for Mom's name and found they had put her on a different plane in Houston with a big layover and got the arrival time here in OKC. Waited and hour then went and picked her up.

What I thought was really weird was her ticket info was for the plane she was originally on and it came from Houston to OKC. Yet they somehow made her get off that plane and she had to wait two hours and get on another plane coming to OKC. And the layover was on the saber system, but not on her ticket or flight info. Evidently she got bumped to a later flight for somebody.

Kinda scary that I could lookup any person flying and find when and where they would be. That backdoor login is no longer there.
