Pairings
FNG,
I agree with most of what you say, especially with regard to how the committee should be paid/constructed. New e-mail out today on volunteers, I wonder if anyone will be knocking down the doors? Any volunteers out there?
If crew services ran the AOS, the committee would still set the parameters, so productivity, sit time, etc would still be controlled by the committee. CS would simply run the software. Would avoid the bias charge while still allowing the committee to control the results.
