That way is fair for everyone. If you really need to get there you get a pass that will put you ahead of all other non revs. And if you are in the middle of a connection then you will also be aged in the line. If they did what you are suggesting then people would walk up to the counter 20 before departure and try to get onthe flight asthey do with the j/s, that would make a night mare for commuters.
Well, I guess you better stay at AE and work yourself onto AA's roster because you'll get a rude nonrev/commuting awakening going anywhere else. Last time I checked seniority does mean something at about 95% of the other carriers, which includes travel benefits. Just because AE/AA do it a certain way doesn't mean it's a global standard. Pull your nose down a little bit and you might actually see reality! As for flywife, yeah maybe she shouldn't name call but she does have a valid point when it comes to seniority, regardless of how many years or months she's been around the business.
