It was interesting watching on SkyHub over the years as this has been developing. John Bell was posting quite a bit trying to volunteer his time to help in anyway in the selection of a vendor, code, consult, test etc. I remember him sayimg stuff like, "I hear there's no hyperliks to the NOTAMs" then offering up how he could help facilitate that. Then whoever the lead was, basically said our new way will be better, thanks. Whoever was in charge clearly didn't want his input. Pilots would then post below, more less "why isn't John in involved, let alone leading this?".
The standard shouldn't be, is this is better than paper?..we already had an electronic flt plan. It standard should be if it's a better product than the HTML one that one dude built for free to help pilots.
