IATA messages ... although most of our systems were in places that used
similar format but were not airlines.

I think that the only one that we did that was airline related was for
Iceland Air Traffic Control.
Surprisingly busy because of all of the routing over the north pole -
they had control of flights over the airspace and there were a lot.
I was sent over there once to resolve an issue (successfully) and spent
a few days in Icelandic winter with not a lot to do.
I remember that the hotel had a swimming pool in the basement that was
naturally heated (great) but had smell of sulphur (not so great).

Many things from that period are etched into my mind.
Probably like you, I reckon I could still find my way around the
operating system.

Am tempted to buy one of these ...

... but I suspect that it would be ruled out by others who would have to
share their lives with it.
Our customer with the paper tapes had 4 of these running our stuff.
