This is based off of conversations I’ve had with some fellow pilots in the Van.
Fire away.
Fire away.
Counter point, I've only flown 1 GS in months and I believe I've only ever received 1 payment from a 23.M.7 violation (I think) and the violation was called out by someone else. I had no idea where it came from or why I got it until I asked around. I don't have the time, or will, to sit and do forensics on assignments.
I don't really care about the batch sizes themselves. I only care that we really didnt get anything of substance. To me, them promising to only violate the spirit of 23.M.7 (by "their" interpretation) within 8 hours is just not a win. I think I've received more IA calls in the last two days, than I have in the last 2 years on this fleet. We negotiated for batch sizes for a good reason, then we just gave it up for a promise. Something as simple as a more user friendly system to input GS requests to make it to build/layer GS requests. Another win would have been an easy slider or something to turn on/off GS requests, rather than having to delete GS requests and input them again later. This would help both parties.
