Kiosk Checking for AC
 

This is an Air Canada question, but I have a feeling the UA fliers will know better.

Seriously... UA handles ground ops for AC at a number of airports, including my home airport, RDU. Since "integration" of the computer systerms, there has been no kiosk check-in for AC, and there never was OLCI. For reasons not worth explaining, having one or the other is a big deal.

Based on knowledge of what's happening with the computer systems, can anyone predict when AC will have kiosk or OLCI?

If it makes you feel better, they do not have Kiosk check in for Air Canada at Seattle - also where UA is handling ground operations on the part of AC.

This makes for some long lines.

I don't see this changing anytime in the near future since UA has some bigger worries at SEA (like re-locating terminals / gates / lounges etc...)

... and SEA doesn't have a J line for ckin either

This is what drives me bonkers about all this "rah-rah-rah fifteen years of the Star Alliance" business. 15 years in and two founding members of the Alliance can't get basic computer systems integrated.

Yesterday I flew a 2-leg itinerary, UA/AC. Checking in online UA couldn't even show me a seat map for the AC flight and showed my seat as "unassigned" - Yet 15A printed out on the BP.

Clairvoyant jjclancy says the reason is that you want to checkin for Mrs Redtop without her being present. No! Wait! He's not clairvoyant. He read your post complaining about this on your previous trip.

We though you'd dreamed up all the ways you could both analyze and complain about RDU-YYZ travel, but hadn't considered your ingenuity in reframing similar gripes.
