My feeling on the widget is that unless it's a simple task like checking someone in, or boarding an "on-time" flight, native SHARES will still need to be used to re issue a ticket, interline, etc. Much in the way that when FastAir, first rolled out many agents found it easier to enter native Apollo for more complex tasks (although in this case, they won't have a choice). What I don't know is if like FastAir, Check It will be the foundation for the GUI or is a temp solution.

People I have spoken with have said that the full FastAir replacement is still being developed, however, I have the fear that they will implement the widget and go with the mentality of "good enough."
