Agreed. But its not only AC that has this HUCA challenge. Last week it took 5 HUCAs with AM and 3 HUCAs with UA. I overcame with UA challenge with their Philippine call centre staff by remembering my Spanish and reach some good agents based in Chicago, Houston or Mexico City.

I doubt any of your fellow AC FTers are surprised by this sequence of events and the subsequent frustration with AC, but you hung in there.
