Find anything in our history that says otherwise. I'm glad you think that Smartpref blows Flightline out of the water, but, frankly, I really don't have any reason to trust you, so your opinion is worthless to me. It's like my daddy always said "Opinions are like rear ends, everybody's got one and some stink worse than others!" I love my daddy! But I digress. If you haven't bid with both under the same set of rules, you are merely providing an opinion (see above). The only way to accurately analyze these two products (or any other) is to bid with them side by side with the same set of rules and make an educated determination based on the results.
I couldn't agree more and I am totally open to seeing them both in action. I am a little sceptical of your MEC though having not looked at this system with work rules in place and having raised concerns that were clearly addressed in the smartpref presentation. Why would they say no to a dual track option? I mean this seriously not as flame, but I would be much more hesitant to trust your MEC based on their track record than a fellow pilot like myself who has done all the research and just wants a good system that will benefit us all. Im sorry, but your MEC has not shown that they want to same. They want flightline or bust and refuse to spend more than a few mins researching anything else.
