Check-in 24 hours before your flight


 


Airport Agents at both legacy companies are instructed that it is not permitted to check-in a passenger more than 24 hours in advance of the flight departure time. While SABRE restricts this programmatically, Shares and QIK Check (the systems US Airways agents use for US Airways flights) do not. Regardless of whether the system allows it or not, it is not permitted to check in prior to 24 hours in advance.
Weve put an automated system in place to identify any non-rev traveler who has checked in more than 24 hours before their flight. They will have their PNR cancelled and will need to check back in within the 24 hour window so that all travelers are checking in within the same time period.
We are also programming a permanent fix to QIK Check to prevent this. Checking in more than 24 hours before your flight is not permitted per the training that agents receive and is a violation of the new company pass policy. We will be following-up with individual employees when we see an early-check-in​

you'd think that poor old dead horse would be beat into dust by now.

No...a flawed LUS system.  LAA has no issues.

once the bugs are worked out, I think most US people will actually like FCFS better. Except the super senior ones who can just walk up and bump everybody else. when you combine both sides the US senior people will have a few thousand senior LAA above people above them so they may change their tune

On the F/A grievance, which is binding for the F/A's and the company, not the other groups. Their CBA did not explicitly state D.O.H. will be used for non-rev travel like ours and the CWA/IBT CBA does. Has anybody even read the ruling? It leaves the door open for the other groups.

Or, maybe it closes it for CWA/IBT.  Arbitrator may rule that the clause allowing the company to modify, change, or eliminate non-rev travel program at any time for any reason is the controlling statement.  Or, the clause that says that CWA/IBT employees get the same benefits as all other employees, i.e. FCFS, prevails.

And, US having a very senior workforce, would put a few thousand above a lot of AA "senior" people.  Your point?
 
I would bet that an analysis would show that US has just as much "seniority" percentage-wise as AA.
