Neither PHX nor BOI front-line call center reps book Cathay awards.

In fact, if one just asks to be transferred immediately (rather than playing a game of telephone about your itinerary between the two of them) you'll find the process goes a lot quicker.
Not true! The PHX agent booked it directly. I gave here the flight numbers and it was booked within 8 minutes. No hand off to another agent.
