Asked another way: I can't even imagine how frustrating it might be for someone sitting in the right-seat to have to deal with a DEC that is (relatively speaking) behind the power curve on some of the airline-specific ground and administrative stuff... so yes, in all sincerity, any thoughts or suggestions on how to approach this would be most welcome!
