Just wondering if anyone has had any RECENT success with this FQTS/FQTV process. In my res system there is no option for separate FQTS/FQTR fields for FF numbers. There is simply the FF field. It sounds like FQTS and FQTR are Special Service Request fields, like LFML is the SSR for Low Fat Meal requests, so I tried that and it works for FQTV but it says that FQTS is no longer a valid SSR. I called my support desk and they said FQTS is no longer a valid SSR for United. If anyone has success with a UA agent putting it in that way ask them what the process was and post it here. It'll help not just me as a UA agent but also other FTers who can then explain to agents on the phone exactly what the steps are. FYI I asked agents all around me and none of them knew about those fields much less how to do it.
