Don't you find it amazing that we can fly for 5,6, 12 hours and be within 10 or 15 minutes of the prediction on the flight plan? I certainly do. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.
I'm not sure about now, but there used to be a computer printout "Capt. minutes under sked" sent monthly to the CPO.
