I believe they are restricting Native Shares for some functions. Has anyone tried to get added to a VDB list from a different station? You used to be able to feed the command to the agent at a different airport (who insisted "you could only be added at the gate"), but I have now tried twice in the last month, and both agents typed in //ovs/vol/... and got an error message. My conclusion is that management has disabled this capability which is a total shame! (Perhaps because they are moving to auction style?).

And agree on fastair. I still remember taking a VDB at IAD, and running while the ticket was being reissued, getting to the new gate just as they were closing boarding and got checked in and boarded. Then a month later taking an overnight VDB and spending 45 mins for a supervisor to rebook me SFO-LAS at the little rebooking center in the 80s gate area. Both of these were all UA metal.
