I'm taking the LGA-BOS shuttle tomorrow morning. I tried OLCI just now and it didn't work ("there is an inconsistency in your reservatoin"). I chatted online with an agent, and two minutes later I was able to check in (a rare ^ ^ for the online chat feature!).
My BP does not have a barcode but it says:
CHAIRMAN
Which makes me happy. :-)
Edited to add: As you all know I am by no means a US Airways apologist, however "not knowing" why something isn't working is EXTREMELY common in the IT world. How many times is there something up with your computer and you have no idea what's causing it? On the other hand, telling the press you "don't know" wasn't too bright.
