AA iSolve F/A Onboard Miles Compensation as of Feb 2018 (restricted 8 Jun 2020)
Gary Leff announces that, in addition to AA FAs beginning de-escalation training this year to deal more effectively with onboard incidents involving upset passengers, new software on their tablets, ISolve, will be installed to let them address compensable incidents like broken seats or non-working IFE on the spot.
The new software will allow flight attendants to offer on-the-spot compensation in the form of AAdvantage miles when specific inconveniences happen inflight — that is if the passenger in question is enrolled in AA’s frequent traveler program. Those inflight inconveniences might include such things as inflight entertainment issues, broken seats or meal shortages. Link to Gary Leff, The Boarding Area, 11 Jan 2018 |

I like this.
|
lets see what passengers start to complain about, shall we?

Didn't United used to do this? If you pointed out a bad seat, headphone jack, etc., they would then give you a cert that you could submit for miles.
I hope that the hardware issues are actually logged and fixed. |
Don't get your hopes up too high. They'll be preset with compensation amounts based upon item being disputed, length of flight, and cabin of service, so the FA can't just give away 'X' amount to you just because you didn't get your choice of food (Pre-orders are GREAT), cabin temperature too hot or too cold, or didn't like the video you watched on your personal device was too graphic.
again, miles will be preset per the item being complained about, length of flight, and your cabin of service you are sitting in. |

Which seems to translate to giving a consistent approach to compensation

So how much would I have to complain before I get enough miles for a seat in J on QF 7 / QF 8?

As a consumer, I never thought AAdvantage miles as compensation is a best deal. Will receiving AAdvantage miles on spot during the flight be considered as case closed and resolved as far as AA is concerned? Often it is better to give time to think about the situation. Get off the flight and give a day or two to think about the situation to rationalize exactly how minor or how serious the situation was. Giving AAdvantage miles on spot during the flight will not give a chance for passengers to think about the whole situation, won’t have time to think if miles given was fair or not.

Hope they provision extra batteries for the tablets.

Exactly. I just retired from AA HDQ a few weeks ago and my group was involved with this initiative. The goal is not only to be more responsive but to reduce the volume of formal complaints being submitted to customer relations and they prefer to avoid issuing vouchers when possible. They think it will save money but I expect it will cost them more in the end as not everyone wants to bother with submitting a formal complaint to CR and the F/As will likely comp anyone they are able to comp. Agents should have the Isolve tool as well if they aren't using it already.
Not to be cynical, but how do the FAs view this? Is it empowering or burdensome? Is there some kind of performance metric to hold FAs accountable? It would be interesting to hear about the viewpoint of folks in the trenches, in the front lines, as it were. |
