True. I end up often filtering 'non-stop only' to DOH separately to narrow the search down. Then repeat again separately for DOH-MLE. Sometimes an agent can piece XXX-DOH-MLE together in a call when it isn't available online.
It was much easier before AA's search engine has seemed to become ultra-sensitive to multiple searches with small variations in parameters. It was still tedious, but orders of magnitude easier just to plod through the process. Now it's just downright painful & almost a non-starter.
It'll be great if EF ends up working for QR again. Biggest downside then is having to search week by week instead of a visually quick and easy month calendar view. (But hey - can't be too greedy I guess! :-) It'll be good just to have it work.)
