So who's non rev. policy will survive?

[eolesen]

Can someone tell me if ALL employees withing the same category have the same chance at check in time or if there are subcategories within each category that are prioritized separately? An AA person told one of our supervisors that certain employees get priority over others within the same category and that didn't sound like what was being explained here.

Within the same category? No, unless they're referring to the thru situation, or the annual vacation pass (D1)

My business travel classification was higher as a manager (A10) than it was for my wife as an analyst (A11) or an agent heading to training (A12). All of those are confirmed space & non-removable; the classification came into play for upgrades.

For personal travel classification, managers on down to building cleaners are all D2, regardless of their pay grade.

At legacy AA, there are perhaps no more than 300 employees with reserved space privileges, but those are in the A classifications, not D.

why you'd label that as a cluster.

If 5,10,20.30 NRSA are trying to check-in 24hr prior of departure on a full flight and trying to beat one other out in a leap second
IT’S A CLUSTER FREE FOR ALL

 

[john john]

It shouldn't be used to decide who gets on a flight, the desk or locker closest to the door/window, the newer chair or PC, the larger slice of pizza in the cafeteria, the stall with more toilet paper, or a better parking space in the employee parking lot. Especially when it's something that transcends workgroups.

I'm the fourth or fifth most senior person in a group of about 20. I certainly don't expect to exercise my seniority when it comes to seating arrangements in a meeting, which office I'm assigned to, or where my parking space is, but that's the French mentality of liberté, égalité, & fraternité...

Who gets the honor
The employee who can’t work for what they want, instead they play dirty and butter-up the boss getting what they want. No way this doesn’t happen

You are such an expert for someone who has never used FCFS.

Not at all just trying to figure out the FCFS gaming cluster check-in free for all

 

[Bogey]

There is no gaming. It's a system that has been in place for longer then I worked here and we are all still alive. You too will survive this merger along with FCFS. Relax!

 

[Bogey]

Take the larger airline process and systems and overlay them on the smaller airline. I would imagine non rev systems will be included. Learn from your mistakes!

Sounds great in theory, but reality has shown there isn't a great rush at exactly 24 hours.

Why are you (and others) so afraid of having a level playing field, where no one person has any special advantage over another?

I'd think a pro-union person would be OK with a system that's non-discriminatory.

A loaf of bread costs the same for every member, right? Why should only the senior members get fed?

USAirways had sabre checkin with DOH

The AA and former HP will have a big enough voice to make it FCFS. Systems are in place. It doesn't get any simpler.

There is no gaming.

Being the first one to get the reward on a computer is gaming

 

[Bogey]

Being the first to get the reward when using an unapproved method, that is gaming. When the playing field is level, it's called the rules.

I think what John is trying to convey here, is that US has several flights that have 30+ N/R's competing for a seat. In these cases, just about all of them are commuting to/from work with many of them being flight crews. Given that some of them may be in flight when the 24 hour check in FCFS window opens, will put them at a disadvantage. So unless you are able to be in position at a computer at the 24 hour mark, you are pretty much screwed since several junior people will have a place on the list far ahead of you.

 

[Bogey]

I get that, but what it does is make him equal to every other employee. Same rules for everyone. I may be in the woods with no cell signal 24 hours prior to my flight. In flight, in the woods, that is the position we put ourselves in.

Who gets the reward if everybody trys at the exact time. The one with the best gaming skill

 

[Bogey]

It may be you. You will have the same opportunity as everyone else.
