I would usually just blame DTS, and since I've been a 1P, just going in and changing it, but since I drop next year, I'm trying to not make my life suck more than it needs to. Calling UA seems to be the fix.
I do see the issue with UA MP going across as US when flying US, which is annoying and I have to correct doing a manual check in or it doesn't get fixed. That's what agents love at 6AM at DCA, retyping things.
In the end it doesn't matter since there's no funding after Friday unless someone gets their act together and the flight won't book anyway.
I always get a PNR as soon as the flight is booked. Always have to go in and change the seat the Government procures for me, too.
We also get charged the same ticketing fee regardless of when the ticket is actually purchased, so asking to be ticketed early does not cost my agency anything extra. Sometimes, waiting until the last minute to ticket does, however, as I have seen fares go up between booking and ticketing.
