I always use my GPUs on confirmable segments but on United for example don't you have to wait for ones that don't clear to redeposit?
Even IF United were able to work with Lufthansa to use these electronically do you think the turnaround time would be fast enough to continue in this way?
I'm legitimately asking how everyone thinks this would work - surely the ability to use these electronically would trump the ability to carry them with you as an insurance policy for multi-leg segments or IRROPS.
