Can you imagine the # of people that would have no idea where they were sitting when getting on the plane without a paper boarding pass receipt? Or the double-booked seat situation? The last minute seat changes/upgrades, etc? I think the paper makes for a much easier situation. Also, the computer system has a fart during boarding? The paper can be manually-taken and you can get on board. </font>
True words of wisdom. Technology sometimes can't be the answer to everything, as much as sometimes as it seems so appealing.

Eastbay 1K - I wonder if I've bumped into you at SFO b4... If not, let me buy you a glass of wine on a UA flight sometime
