Rather not likely to survive or at least in very criticalcondition, a lot of people will lose jobs and businesses continuity is at risk. Most likely sabre will be acquired by Google for couple of $ to get clients and most of sabre staff will be let go within 1-2 years. Of course management will win on this situation with large exit bonus.

Not great, Bob. Not great. Time to pray DOJ wins the suit.
Think we received our answer today.
The truth is, a fair share of this "downturn" is Sabre's inadequacy, especially in the tech industry. We've blew $x,000,000 for our transformation only to say "let's start over". As a company we can't stick to a decision for longer than it takes to go once through the SDLC Process, and I expect vast majority of that $ goes to Process. On top of that, the overhead of productive time to unproductive to bureaucracy is overwhelming, and it is finally blowing up in our faces.
Our customers need us in full force when this is over. Why are layoff always the first answer? The achievements in [financial] stability are short term. I would rather support Sabre in getting creative with reduced working hours (and salaries) for all, to weather this storm.
Lets pray WE survive, the company doesn't matter in this situation. Two main offices closed (BLR n KRK), only one fully open. Sabre will survive as a company but layoffs will be necessary to maintain financial stability.
