It's 2024.... how do we not have a simple app for employees to use to non-rev booking and travel. Don't even mention "american essentials", that app is pointless since you still have to go through the complicated travel planner browser non-sense to make a non-rev listing.

Have you ever seen what UAL has? It's great, a simple app and they can see a full seat map with what seats are still open on every flight.

Also, don't even get me started on CCI. What a joke. It doesn't even work half the time and the fact that it has to import data and code from sabre. Lord, again it's 2024.... this is like 1960s tech we are using.

Shrug. I do my job and go home. Let it fail.

Although, AA's awful IT can be lucrative, if you know your contract, don't lean forward, and read between the lines on certain things.
