It is simply non-sensical to continue using a manual-phone-calls-separated-by-10-minutes these days. I understand that is the legacy, but let's move on. I want this company to maximize profits; failing to embrace proven technology for silly reasons (see the surface tablet business decision as an example) robs us of profits and QOL bump-ups. This change would seem to improve things without costing significant jobs...win/win!
I totally agree. I've just heard from many different pilots that it's ok to answer your phone and proffer a green slip. Just let it go to voicemail. Don't get me started on tech improvements.
