It's even easier than that - expand the XJT test run to all line holders in a base and prove that it works. It's already in use, so it should be quick and easy to implement If the XJT MEC can prove that it works for an entire base of line bidders, I'll lead the educational campaign on the ASA side. I'd personally give up vacation low outright to do away with the multiple bid sheets and to know my schedule a full week earlier. But prove the program works first in a full scale real world environment!
BTW, the ASA MEC was willing to do parallel test runs but the company is unwilling to fund it, and Smart pref won't do it for free because the modifications to fit our work rules would have been too extensive. If this is something the XJT MEC actually wants, the burden falls on them to make it work then sell it.
