Just trying to figure out what needs to be done in a weather room for a leg from EWR-BOS that can’t be done at the plane. If you’re flying EWR-PVG up over the pole then obviously that’s a little more involved. Not poking fun at either side. I’m actually curious since that’s something that we don’t do in IAH.
You're not picking a fight at all but simply stating the obvious. Meeting at the FPA is a dinasouric old UAL thing that they simply can't let go of.
As you point out, NOBODY else does this but for some unexplainable reason they consider it safer.
