The method comprises receiving, at a mirror of a legacy inventory system, one or more updates from a re-accommodation system. The mirror is populated with the one or more updates. The method proceeds with communicating the one or more updates to the legacy inventory system at a controlled rate. The one or more updates communicated to the legacy inventory system are flagged as pending update. A confirmation that the one or more records are updated in the legacy inventory system is received. The confirmation indicates synchronization of the mirror and legacy inventory system. In response to the confirmation, the one or more updates are unflagged in the mirror. Statistical evaluation of the inventory is provided based on the one or more updates in the mirror. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A method for improved management of an airline inventory during a service disruption, the method comprising: receiving, at a mirror of a legacy inventory system, one or more updates from a re-accommodation system, wherein the one or more updates are associated with one or more records; populating, by at least one processor, the mirror with the one or more updates; communicating, by the at least one processor, the one or more updates to the legacy inventory system at a controlled rate; flagging, by the at least one processor, the one or more updates communicated to the legacy inventory system as pending update; receiving, by the at least one processor, a confirmation that the one or more records are updated in the legacy inventory system, the confirmation indicating synchronization of the mirror and legacy inventory system; and in response to the confirmation, unflagging, by the at least one processor, the one or more updates in the mirror. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, further comprising generating, by the re-accommodation system, the one or more updates. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising: statistically evaluating, by the at least one processor, the airline inventory based on the one or more updates in the mirror; and providing, by the at least one processor via at least one display, the statistical evaluation of the airline inventory. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more updates are associated with re-accommodation of one or more passengers affected by a service disruption. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving, by the at least one processor, a rejection associated with a record of the one or more records, the rejection indicating a failure to update the record in the legacy inventory system; and in response to the rejection, updating, by the at least one processor, the mirror to invalidate the one or more updates for the record in the mirror. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, wherein the record is returned to a state assigned to the record before the one or more updates. ### Claim 7 (depends on 5) The method of claim 5, further comprising adding, by the at least one processor, the record to a queue for generation of further one or more updates. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein the re-accommodation system utilizes data of the one or more updates on the mirror as an inventory of record to generate further one or more updates for a further service disruption. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method of claim 1, wherein one or more inventory requests are associated with one or more external bookings request information concerning availability of the airline inventory from the mirror. ### Claim 10 A system for improved management of an airline inventory during a service disruption, the system comprising: at least one mirror of a legacy inventory system configured to receive one or more updates from a re-accommodation system, wherein the one or more updates are associated with one or more records; and at least one processor in communication with the at least one mirror, the at least one processor configured to: populate the mirror with the one or more updates; communicate the one or more updates to the legacy inventory system at a controlled rate; flag the one or more updates communicated to the legacy inventory system as pending update; receive a confirmation that the one or more records are updated in the legacy inventory system, the confirmation indicating synchronization of the mirror and the legacy inventory system; and in response to the confirmation, unflag the one or more updates in the mirror. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the re-accommodation system is operable to communicate with the at least one mirror of the legacy inventory system and to generate the one or more updates. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: statistically evaluate the airline inventory based on the one or more updates in the mirror; and provide the statistical evaluation of the airline inventory for representation on at least one display. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to: receive a rejection associated with a record of the one or more records, the rejection indicating a failure to update the record in the legacy inventory system; and in response to the rejection, update the mirror to invalidate the one or more updates for the record in the mirror. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the record is returned to a state assigned to the record before the one or more updates. ### Claim 15 (depends on 13) The system of claim 13, wherein the at least one processor is further configured to add the record to a queue for generation of further one or more updates. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein the re-accommodation system utilizes data on the mirror as an inventory of record to generate further one or more updates for a further service disruption. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The system of claim 16, wherein the data communicated to the re-accommodation system includes the one or more updates. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein a reservation system utilizes data on the mirror as an inventory of record to provide information on availability of the airline inventory. ### Claim 19 (depends on 10) The system of claim 10, wherein one or more inventory requests associated with one or more external bookings request information about availability of the airline inventory from the mirror. ### Claim 20 A non-transitory processor-readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement a method for improved management of an airline inventory during a service disruption, the method comprising: receiving, at a mirror of a legacy inventory system, one or more updates from a re-accommodation system, wherein the one or more updates are associated with one or more records; populating the mirror with the one or more updates; communicating the one or more updates to the legacy inventory system at a controlled rate; flagging the one or more updates communicated to the legacy inventory system as pending update; receiving a confirmation that the one or more records are updated in the legacy inventory system, the confirmation indicating synchronization of the mirror and legacy inventory system; and in response to the confirmation, unflagging the one or more updates in the mirror.
