AA/WO .. Starting June 1 2016
Dear Fellow Employees,
As we shared last December, American’s employee travel program is about to become the best in the business. June 1 marks several improvements, the biggest of which is free of charge travel in any cabin.
Here’s a reminder of what June 1 will bring:
1. Premium travel will be free of charge: If the seats are open, you’ll be in them. Employees, eligible retirees and your eligible dependents (spouse, domestic partner, registered companion and kids) will enjoy Main Cabin, Business and First Class travel at no charge.
2. Pricing non-rev travel will become easier: Where there is a fee for non-rev travel (international taxes and parent and guest travel), we’re launching a new pricing tool so you can better plan.
3. JetAway gets a makeover: We’ve revamped the JetAway app to give you more information while you’re on the go. You can access a mobile boarding pass and see more information about booking codes to know who’s in line ahead of you. It looks a heck of a lot better, too.
These changes are just the beginning, and you can find out more about them on Jetnet. Several teams are working feverishly on an end-state travel system and anticipate it will be ready for primetime in early 2017. Enhancements include providing an electronic form of payment and improved mobile functionality.
Building the world’s greatest airline means creating a place where you want to work and where you want your friends to work. Travel is an essential part of working in the airline industry, and nowhere is that travel benefit better than at American.

Those of you who have to use myidtravel to list for AA commutes, how often are you having issues with gate agents? You list online, go up to the counter and it still seems like AA agents are reluctant to finish the listing. Some go as far as telling you to exit the sterile area and go to the checkin counter outside to finish the listing. Finally on a wide open flight, got the seat assignment early and the gate agent wasn't busy, so I asked what the proper way to list was since I was under the impression that listing online first was their big deal. She proceeded to explain well they still have to CASS you and that takes some time so they are not likely to do it if there's any sort of line. Excuse me, but basically every other airline out there CASS you at the counter, some like delta and United don't even know I'm showing up to the counter and they do it with a smile. Why is American so difficult?
Any OAL commuters who use AAG have a sure fire easy way to do it so it's not up to the gate agents good grace even if there isn't a line? Not very effective to plan commutes when you don't even know if an agent will finish the listing you already start and if you're running for a flight...
Thanks

Myid on American is a nightmare.
The system crashes often leaving you unable to sign up for the Jumpseat.
Gate agents outside of hubs have no idea how it works and it really is a roll of the dice if you will be getting left behind.

This. I commute on company metal and even on a wide open flight I'm still sweating bullets because the outstation agents never seem to know how to check me in. Personally I'm not a fan of how the "new" American has treated the former Airways non wholly owned regionals. Our nonrev process is overly convoluted as a result of the merger.

Another thing to consider when trying to figure out the seats.... I use AA and sometimes WN to commute and for both of them the Y7 could mean 7 open or 30+ open. For those two carriers at least, you won't see a number higher than 7, even if there are many more open seats. When I see the 7 on AA I look at the seat map on their main booking site. Of course not as accurate as you want but can give you an idea if it's wide open. And even when calling the listing number for WN they will only tell you if it has 7 or more...

I fly for an ACMI cargo company, am homebased, and rarely jumpseat anymore. Just bought the wife a roundtrip ticket on AA from MIA-STT for thanksgiving and would like to jumpseat on her flights. Do many pilots commute this route? Is cockpit available to STT for CASS pilots? How are loads generally on this route? Sounds like MyID90 listing should be OK with MIA gate agents but any suggestions for STT side? Thanks!
