I agree completely that having to jump through all the hoops to add our names to the reservations and try to get a better seat and check in are a complete pain in the rump and absolutely need to change with our next PWA. Over the course of a year, I know I waste a lot of my time dealing with my DH reservations.
As a domestic guy, this policy only frustrates me during IROPs when I am time limited and rushing to get to said deadhead. It’s hard to type and walk. Usually, I can take care of it stress free. But it does seem like needless key strokes. I just feel we have bigger fish to fry, this should be a free fix on the company’s part. I have no idea why we would waste negotiating capital on this (in all fairness you may not have been meaning this).

The TravelNet app is amazing for listing for DHs, WHEN IT WORKS!! Asides from how ungodly slow that app is, it seems to work 20% of the time for DHs and 80% of the time for normal nonrev listings.

So you’re saying it’s amazing it works?

I’m amazed I could get it to do anything.

So what you're saying is 20% of the time it works 100% of the time when we really need it?
