Integrate airline schedule with google docs?

Is there a way to make this happen? My new phone is android and used google docs. Looking for a way to have the calendar show the days I work.

What/How is your schedule published on? You can import many calendars into Google Calendar.

It sounds like a simple export/import task - depending on how your airline schedule is published. If you can export your monthly schedule as a iCal or even a .CSV file, then you're good to go!

Try this:

I manually enter the trip start and end as one event and copy and paste the pairing into the comments section.

Try this link for an explanation on how to format a .csv file so that google can import it.

I understand that part, thank you by the way, but how do I get Sabre or PBS to export a sched as a .csv file? I see options to print but nothing to export as a file.

You are going to have to export it into excel. Manipulate the data. Save it as a CSV file then import it. There is no easy way unless you can convince someone they will make money by writing an App.
