So if I was sitting there, with paperwork, I'd feel pretty pathetic to say "waiting 30 minutes prior" before entering the flight plan in, in order to save 3 minutes of inputs.
But, hey it's there!! I'm sure many will love it.
Maybe one day we can upload our correct pay credits and see them as well!!!
Actually, the flight plan can be "automatically" uploaded more then 30 minutes prior to blastoff. On the secondary flight plan init page, just select "flt plan init."
Depending on the city pairs, the ACARS will also print out a Starbucks coupon.
