In my opinion the language was perfunctory and weak.
System chief asks the MEC chair to add a friendly reminder with a vague description of bots for those in the cheap seats, just in case someone ‘accidentally’ employs a program to cheat the system
Flica is capable of detecting bot usage, and will regularly send updates to IT, who will probably update their supervisor, who may bring it up in a meeting, which might include flight operations, which hopefully cc’s the chief pilot, and he’ll pass it along to the MEC, who sends out a friendly reminder... er, yeah..
Violators are guilty of being in breach of the FOM and (gasp) Flica Terms of Service! Next time you have to update the company iPad iOS be sure to have an employment lawyer review the TOS before clicking “I agree”.
Potentially subject to disciplinary action, like the $10,000,000 fine in the warning about dubbing a videotape, or the sin of removing mattress tags, or using an aerosol can in a manner other than directed.
Either a line in the sand needs to be drawn or it will be a slap on the wrists at best/worst.
