Listing in First
When non-revving, I always list for first even when there is almost zero chance of me getting it, just in case something opens up. Recently I’ve noticed most people list for economy now. Is there a reason for this?
Does it make a difference in departure taxes when international?
Does it make a difference for those that type of pass riders who require imputed income?

Always list for 1st(especially between now and January 3rd). You don’t pay the first class travel pass fee (if you have less than the 20 years or whatever seniority) unless you are awarded a seat in business/first class. If all seats in coach are filled and you only list SA in economy, guess what?: you aren’t eligible for an empty seat in the premium cabin (holidays often produce domestic and international premium seats). I’ve seen SAs left behind with 1st class seats open. Always list for premium cabin. If you get it, enjoy the meal/drink/big seat/no screaming kids etc. Worth the fee. Heck, I purchase 1st class all the time (with our discount) for vacations and even my last month of commuting to the West Coast was all done (both directions) in 1st. Best money I’ve spent on myself in a while.

She called my name (I was #2 on the list).
I asked why me because I was #2. She said that the #1 person was listed for coach and I was listed for 1st and she has to follow that. The open seat was a 1st class seat. So they put me in it and closed the door.
So from then on I always list for 1st. You can always tell them you want coach and they will move you there if you want to save the $. But I have 25+ years so its free for me anyway.

That makes sense. I’d probably still list for 1st if in that contractor predicament with the post above being an excellent example as to why.

Is this correct? I thought you had to pay for first class when you list and still don't get the seat. Is this correct for both domestic and international?

(Buddy Pass riders using a CC to make a listing is a different story.)
