Obviously they are using a 3 bit machine because we can't put in more than 7 discrete criteria (H++ H+ H N L L- L--)

At least the old system you could put your avoid or desire preference from 1-1000. So when you have 900+ trips to pick from you get to put them into only 7 weighted categories now, and it still takes 5 days to figure them out.

Its likely poor coding as well as a slow processor. Not to mention the PBS interface which is like learning a new language.

We deserve better.
