Simple is better.
We"ve become so accustomed to our antiquated tech products, I'm afraid any vision for better user experiences will be resisted.
I for one hope they reorganize the release. It's so haphazard and bulky, and formatted for a paper-scroll. Needs to be trimmed back big time, with the most referenced info consolidated together without bouncing around. All the extra mounds of less demanding info get located in some other further away section where it can be referenced if needed. Since its electronic, broken into sections/tabs via links with an always accesable hamburger button or the like table of contents to quickly get to what you looking for.
Page 1 info: Scheduled Dept/Arr times, Flight time, fuel info, CRZ alt, employee# for ACARS init page, TAF single line of forecast used for ETA, MELs(linked), dispatcher remarks...am I missing something?
