A New Venture

[Listmeplease]

After reading all that posts from corporate culture blah blah blah about first come first serve verses DOH for nonrev travel . I am proud to announce my intent to start the "list me Please Corp"
purpose of which is to put employees on the standby list in the event that they will not be at the gate within 30 minutes of departure..

This will be a free service ..and I am looking for a few volunteers who know how to put people on priority list to join my corp.

just send me a PM if you will be interested in being a volunteer and also after the merger if "first come first serve " is how we will nonrev please feel free to PM me the city and flights you would like to be on standby for.

I'm just a customer and all, so far be it for me to criticize internal employee actions, but.....this seems like a flagrant violation of the policy. If you ain't there in person, then there's no reason you should be on the list ahead of someone who is playing by the rules (passenger or employee).

Welcome to USAviation.com, by the way. Nice first post.

Hey PHL thank you for being a customer on Usairways but what employees do is none of your business since it does not affect you as a customer..
If I am going to be admonish I prefer it to come from an employee that matters
Ok

Too bad QIK won't let it happen without a supervisor or manager sign. Oh, there will be a culture shock.

You can check in 4 hours prior to your flight for pass travel at AWA. We have a secured website so you can do this from home or any place you have internet access. If it is more than 4 hours prior the system will not let you check in. It works the same way web check in works for revenue passengers. You can even print a boarding pass from the site. The days of having to be at the airport early to be first to check in for a full flight are over. It's a wonderful benefit. Now if they would just give us a way to list for the flights through this website....that would be great!

Nice attitude to have for someone who gives YOU a warm welcome to the board.

If you don't want the public to comment, perhaps you should post your ideas for employees on the HUB.

But if you can get on the list prior to your 30 minute window, doesn't that present a potential problem for a customer also standing by? If not, then please excuse me for interrupting this employee exclusive board. And it still begs the question of whether or not it's right to break policy in the first place.

PHL, no "revenue standbys" (passengers) always go ahead of employees traveling space available. The only time an employee would get ahead of a non-employee is if that employee is traveling "positive space" (on company business, deadheading, etc) -- or of course, paid a regular fare for the ticket.

And not all US/HP employees are as rude as the original poster. Last I checked, the laws don't prevent non-employees from posting to these boards.

Thanks for the giggles Listmeplease. =)

Clarification from the HP people please, I have a few questions and want to make sure I understand the process.

A GSO-NYC day trip scenario.

I could check in via the internet for a 1000 am flight at 0600. That 0600 check in time is what actually counts when I show up at the airport at 0900 - correct? Except for SP employee travel, is there any other non rev travel that could bump me at that point?

Now, I've spent a fabulous day in the city and I want to take the 2200 flight home. Does this mean I have to a) find internet access at 1800, or b)actually show up at the airport at 1800 to try to be the first "check in"? I hope you are going to tell me there is an option c) a dedicated phone# for this situation and all I will have to do is make a quick call from the restaurant!

Unfortunately, no, there is no type of phone check-in process--although that would be a great suggestion. However, when you check PBT's on the web, you see how many in each priority are listed, so you have a good idea of who is there. One option might be, once you get to NYC, try to sweet talk a gate agent into checking you in for the return flight at 1800.

You could be bumped by a SA1P person. Employees can use 3 flexis to upgrade to SA1P--that still puts them behind revenue standbys & positive space, but ahead of space available employees who normally travel SA2P

I also have a question for US employees-do they have any sort of web check in? Can you check "real-time", exact PBT's on the web? And, when they go by seniority, is the list "automated", or does the gate agent need to look up each individual's hire date? Are dependents & buddy pass holders also boarded by the seniority of the employee whose benefits they are flying under? (OK . I had a FEW questions 🙂

Since when does thehub have a message board? I know we have an employee suggestion area...

You can use the phone to get flight information and list for flights. You are given the number of seats open in coach and first class and the number of non-revs listed in each. You can list for the flgihts on the phone.

The internet has the same information available and you can check in and print boarding passes as well.
