Century Post.
Because I know you all were looking forward to it, I will confirm; my previous post was my 100th here on APC. Eleven years it took me. I must be a slow reader.

And spare me the "bring a box of chocolates" nonsense - we shouldn't have to grovel. Easily the worst OA pass agreements in the industry. wtf is this guy talking about? |

So many here have no/little knowledge of the way the rest of the airlines work, or what is industry standard. Yes, I'm referring to ZED (not Id90 - not for a long time). Most carriers allow ZED listings from other airline employees in F, J or Y (first, biz and coach). But here at good ol' SWA, the Pass Dept fails to see the need to even ask for this type of agreement, instead telling me to "bring some chocolates for the crew" if I want a chance at something other than coach for 12 hours. How about just negotiating the agreement to allow us to list for Biz (or F), so we don't have to beg? |

I’m not working for SWA but I think the problem is that the company can only get agreements for the class they offer themselves. So if you don’t have a business or first class, you don’t get an agreement with anybody else. That’s only hearsay, so I stand to be corrected. |
That’s the way it was explained to me when I asked about it. No reciprocal premium seating.
In any case, is it really worth it for the .1 percent of the time when an open first or biz seat exists and the crew doesn’t upgrade you anyway just for being staff? |
