Many CO agents work from home, I am not sure if UA's agents do, however.


While this does save in overhead, I learned two weeks ago when a software update went through to the home-based agents, that a glitch in the update knocked them all off the Reservations network for a few hours.

I suppose the samething could happen in a brick-and-morter operation, but having IT staff on hand couldn't hurt.
