I'm going to go into ops and see if a LCAL guy will demo CCS so at least I have seen it when I become forced to use it. I have EWR and IAH layovers on my next trip.
Yes, it's a real Frankenstein. CCS was an overlay to a keystroke driven system. So it looks like windows but many links just go to these keystroke screens. Some screens propagate your info like the Pay Register which inserts your employee number automatically (after all, you just signed in so it knows who you are) but you go to Reserve Availability and you have to fill in five fields of personal info (that it already knows). Some links are newer like the the Trip Trading functions and are fairly intuitive to use while the Pay Claim link is downright kafkaesque and seems to be so intentionally to discourage its use.
