Getting acknowledgement is the only thing that keeps scheduling remotely honest now. And, forget the spin. It is really a 3 hour leash for LC now to meet the real intent of the FARs.
If we go to this, all pilots will be checking their scheds a lot more than they are now. That is not cool.
Excellent points.
There would be nothing to stop skeds from changing something and then blaming us for not checking often enough.
The current CNO system is completely unreliable.
