If you're trying to get to HKG, look at CVG, ORD and ANC. Numerous cargo flights from those locations to HKG. The CVG and ORD flights will have normally have stops in ANC.

Which is also an inaccurate date. Don’t defend his ignorance.

One of the most overlooked opportunities by pax guys. Under normal circumstances, look up Atlas, Southern, or Kalitta if you are going overseas. We’ll take good care of you, catered, and decent seats.

Unfortunately, Atlas and Southern can’t take OAL guys right now due to COVID, but that’ll change back eventually...

Found a ride on Kalitta, great experience. Same with Atlas when I took them last year.

Who are you going to believe when it comes to AA's cargo flights?
What he was saying is the technology and ability to do it remotely on the ramp from say an iPhone exists and is in use elsewhere already; that AA chooses not to utilize that option is up to them and based mostly upon internal company policy.
