I am optimistic that dalpa will engage on this. It seems to be a clean kill.

Sounds like the Company wants to be able to sell these seats right up to departure time. Not sure why they can't fill these with nonrev's (even COBUS/DH) after all the revenue pax have been assigned -- or is that still allowed?

But perpetual "boy who Cried Wolf" crisis mode is not leadership nor a 'backbone." This week's "crisis" is next week's barely remembered afterthought, discarded to lament the next crisis.

Regarding the change in policy to EC - the Union is on it. From a Rep on Chit Chat:
"The MEC is aware of this. I took this to the admin today. There was no warning or consultations with us over this issue. Look for an update from the Communications Committee tomorrow."

It is possible that we would have to wait until a new policy went into effect before it would be considered a status quo issue. Right now they are just saying they will change the status quo in the future. No one has been injured yet.

Upgrade to EC requires the agent to make it happen. Good luck with that in Atlanta!
Other day I show up at the gate 30 minutes before boarding in atl, im positive space on the next flight, ask if she can put me on hers...56 seats available.
Her: i wont do anything unless you are listed on this flight. Double Yew tee eff... So I pull out my iphone to make it all happen, what a pain. She ignores me for the next ten minutes. Thank God for the red coat who actually understood we were in the passenger flying business.
Needless to say, she did not recieve one of the pearl bracelets that I give to good gate agents who actually understand their job.
Atlanta...I hate that place.
