If it works, great! But I’m anticipating a lot of “your booking could not be changed online. Please contact your reservations office”
You can barely rebook a normal booking online. So faith in rebooking an irrops flight is low.

Like sxc said, if implemented properly, might be useful... but I think with the state of CX IT dept, it will probably fail miserably and create even more stress and anxiety...
Also, I can already see that CX management probably thinking of cutting costs and reducing the number of customer service reps now that they think they have an automated system in place...
