FCFS vs DOH

[USCREW]

Not so with DOH--someone more senior can always list & check in for that flight.

And that's the way it should be.

It sounds like a lot of manipulation can be done either way. At least .with FCFS . .when you check in online, you know where you stand at that time within your priority. If you were #2 when you checked in, but then 5 employees get on before you at departure time . you have something ammuntion to question that stauts. With FCFS, once you check in, you ALWAYS knw where you stand within your priority. Not so with DOH--someone more senior can always list & check in for that flight.

Some body with a S1 boarding code can check in and bump you down. Took my whole family on a trip look at the NRSA listed I was senior to everybody till on day of departure another family/employee must have been looking at my seniority BAMB! They got S1 last minute

I recall seeing something on the hub about a form you can fill out and send to corporate security if you've been wronged non-reving. The End

Not to get your hopes up - but we're keeping Shares reservation system.
While the system is capable of somewhat boarding by seniority - it would only list you in order by your year of hire, and right now at US East in Sabre they are listing in order down to the day.
Continental Airlines owns the rights to a lot of the features in Shares since Shares is part of their holdlings (shares is the first reservation system ever created - designed by Eastern Airlines). Continental would have to sell the company the privilege of modifying the current standby tables so that we could spend the money for programmers to modify what we currently have to allow boarding by seniority down to the day.

I'm not saying the company wouldn't do that, and wouldn't spend that kind of money to make it happen...however, given the fact they don't want to spend money that isn't necessary time of checking would be working in our favor financially.

YOU WISH

Acutally JMM is right on. Currently shares only goes down to the year of hire, not the day. Sorry to the senior folks but the company will probably not pay to upgrade the system to allow true DOH.

Isn't Share's IT inhouse. Where's the cost???

That's OK. We don't expect anything to happen. DOH was the only thing left, and that soon won't matter anymore.

And as usual the ETC is down. What a surprise.
