Last year I was buying paper tickets at the local UA ticket agency and the ticket agent tried to verbally bully me into accepting e-tickets. I was concerned about possible weather-related cancellations, so I stuck to my guns, but he acted like I was being unreasonable. I know that e-tickets save money for the airlines so I wondered if the ticket agents are given some sort of incentive for issuing them.
I must admit that I do often use e-tickets on AS up and down the west coast, but they give me bonus miles for using e-tickets and kiosk check-in so I feel like they're sharing the wealth a bit.
