That can very easily hose up any commute.

Thanks again to the fine, fine gentlemen running our BOD
Careful with this statement. Next surprise might be the resurrection of the seniority based TW j/s.

"Gotta move to base, son!"

You never know with those tools....

Don’t listen to this guy. It’s absolutely a disgrace he typed that.

Not to be a downer but my last commute on AA iron had the agent reprimand me for not listing online (out of PHX). I went to another gate and a nicer agent helped me out with the warning that they are being told not to list jumpseaters at the gate.

Yes in their non official we make up our own rules Facebook group maybe. Again odd until that brake is released nothing moves. They again forget who’s in charge and actually controls movements from gate to gate. They don’t want to start this BS.

The problem with Myidtravel is that as the time for the flight approaches, it will lock you out with a "general booking error". WN uses the same thing and I had them leave me at the gate because I couldn't list 30 prior and the agents were no help. I have heard that if this happens, list for the flight the next day and they can move you onto the current one. You just need to be in the system. Haven't confirmed this yet however.

As for AA when I get general booking error, I have had a few gate agents do it at the gate but the service center seems to be a good option as well. I just tell them I tried to list and got the error. I show them the screenshot and then they tend to help.

Of course that doesn't always mesh with the airline pilot mentality that the universe revolves around us.
I support things you write, but this one is just plain wrong. In fact, some airlines directly prohibit multiple listings same city pairs on same day for flights. The last sentence is just condescending. Perhaps just goes to show that legacy Alaska pilots are the last pilot group to be commenting on other pilot commuters. Life is easy when one drives to ANC or the two big PNW bases.

Our gate AAgents aren’t particularly helpful, especially in the former LAA bases. No need to make multiple listings, just need one that includes your PNR. That will help the gate agent pull up your information, and roll you over to the next flight if need be.

All they need is a valid PNR. Just book it for the following day and then give them the PNR and they can change it to the flight you originally couldn’t list for.

Ah so this does work. Thanks for the heads up.
