She's gone, and now they introduce it! Having said that, when I booked my flights to Japan this July with JAL online, I was offered my choice of seats immediately.

Qantas is happy to place some of the workload/time needed to check in a passenger to the passenger him/herself. And the other day I spent time online doing 'the paperwork' needed to make a claim to my health insurer (everything from the dentist's registration details to the codes of work performed!). I imagine Qantas and other companies getting admin work performed for them by the customer are enjoying the cost savings associated with the practice, but can't imagine I'll ever see the cost savings passed onto my bills! Spending more and more time doing Qantas' work for it is not something I find particularly 'convenient' at all...
