It is all real

The reservations are REAL!!!

I just pulled up my co-worker's flight on a PNR that I know belongs to him. I see his entire flight details. This is not "test" data. This is the real thing. CO has royally F'd this one up. Even cigarman can't justify/defend this blatant of a lapse in forethought.

I'm not sure what the price was because it was in Kroners...

I know you became me lately. Did you also become me again after signing out? I was meaning if anyone else also became me, much like the way we both became Dr. Sheldon H. Hochheiser.

To your knowledge - It is a KLM FF number

and you are welcome to put your activities into the account ^

Um, not really true. Its now 9:41PM ET and I still have access to another person's account. That person, GH, who was in 7A on both of his segments on 8/2, has now been upgraded to 1 E on the outbound. GH also has been upgraded on his return, with no seat assigned.

I still can assign 'pets' to his reservation and can book him a reservation at the Austin Hilton for 199.00. I probably can cancel his reservation or put him in 22B

All this on a $242.11 ticket. His ticket was bought with an Amex card that expires 3/9.

Something is still very wrong.

Enough blue and yellow Kool-Aid, and you can rationalize anything.

I don't remember PNRs being part of the old CO query strings...can anyone else confirm? That seems to be a very elementary technical architecture mistake IMO.

Actually, I am the real Sheldon Hochheiser. And this mess has finally convinced me to stop lurking, and make my first post.

I am not amused that Continental has randomly made my profile public.

What a mess! Please be kind to my account.

Suggestion !!!

Is there a way someome/anyone/(moderator) can actually pull a bug list together-either in this post(or a new one-no comments just bugs)
So that COinsider and us can track what is not working correctly

or should we just PM COInsider and Cigar?

Why do I get a "security alert" screen when I use the "flight status" function? Never got that before.....

After I mistakenly invited mbmiles88 and entropy and probably even more people into my account I am scared of continental.com and I can't go to sleep. It is now 4:28 AM CET.
