Annoying for me as I like having all my details pulled up so I can just read off specific flight numbers and such when talking to them. And I inevitably close out the window with those details by accident as I wait 30+ minutes for the call back now. Wouldn't be as big of a problem if they'd let you at least see flight schedule changes online for all reservations. And ideally let you change it online instead of just the dreaded call in, there's been a schedule change message.
Agree. Run off the PNR and alternate flights. Typically the hold time was in the back end so they could 'fix' the issue
