Steve M,
In the situation you describe, not putting your OnePass number in at time of ticketing is the way to go. This type of scenario is a rarity, so I would not expect CO (or any company for that matter) to spend IT time developing an opt-out system.
All you have to do is ask the Check-In agent to put in your OnePass number.</font>
I have personal experience that this does not always work. The one-pass number is "sticky" on the purchasing website, and taking it out is problematic.
The IT time should have been spent creating an Opt-In system in the first place, and as I've said till I'm blue in the face, a single, consolidated, constantly updating FC waiting list for each flight from time of ticket purchase to closing of the gate.
Instead they fobbed-off a broken system on us (with no notice or warning, contrary to their own One-Pass Rules requiring notice)that turned out to be maybe 65% accurate, and then they ridicule and chide the folks that the system fails.
