Yeah the old paper form way was actually better. Agents could easilly place them in order based on box checked. Also you could legally "double list" for the front and back and if you had a seat in back at the last second they would just scrap your form and use the next one. If you were the top JS you could easily get it and free up a non rev seat in the back. If someone bumped you last second from the JS, you already had a seat in back anyway.

The newer process is actually way more complicated for agents and pilots and can even create a situation where off liners get the JS ahead of company pilots beccause of the rediculous self imposed limitation of not being able to double list because of the current I.T. limitations.
