Sure, if the majority of customers are not checking in online.

But it's laughable to suggest this loophole as being statically trivial if the majority of customers in EUAble markets (e.g. domestic) are checking in sometime before they arrive at the airport.

Don't get me wrong -- I'm not saying CO should drop everything and solely focus on this, as I think they've got more pressing obstacles with the recent transition. But I think that if CO considers the EUA to be the "cornerstone" benefit of the elite program, they should make it priority to plug a potential loophole.
