They have no concept of pilot "Flow Through" or how to input a pilots electronically reserved "D6U" category. On both flights I was bumped, there were plenty of empty seats in the back. On one occasion, I was bumped for a USAir FLIGHT ATTENDANT who showed up ahead of me.

The Island agents have plenty of attitude and do not want to hear anything from you. If you ask questions or try to explain the "Flow Through" that reciprocates between your airline and theirs, you get the deer in the headlights look and are simply denied. Problem is, some of these flights are limited to one per day, and getting to work can be a problem.

I have contacted ALPA as well as some Eagle officials, but have not been able to fix the problem where the rubber meets the road; that is, at the gates in MHH and TCB. Everyone else off the Island agrees that this is incorrect. So far, no fix though.

On one occasion, I was almost bumped in MIA as well for the very same reason (another aircrew member showed up ahead of me)but demanded to speak to a supervisor who typed furiously for 10mins trying to input my D6U code. I was finally raced out to the plane with moments to spare.
