Ill take M+ any day over having to unfurl a paper release with no seams that doesn't fold and you have to unravel. We're dealing with some serious first world problems here.

Of course these are first world problems, all our problems are first world problems and it could always be worse, welcome to the show. We're not exactly ready to get the pitchforks out here, just voicing issues. It's just a bit annoying how they are slow to fix the issues we bring up, but are quick to send and update to shut down stuff that actually is useful. They have a long history of casting aside or shutting down things that just work, nearly always falling back on the trusty "security" excuse. It would be great if they'd harness the oaknotes display that has all the pertinent data distilled into one, easy to understand, screen...rather than making us hunt and peck all over the place. Heck, I'd be a bit happier if they simply allowed the down arrow to work throughout the entire flight, rather than just the current sub-section. Also (from a WB friend), they released it without a crew rest calculator, then re-released it with a crew rest calculator that doesn't work lol.

He's probably referencing the fix list and verifying the routing on the ND. However, I believe the fix list is found on the FMS init page. Maybe looking for the reporting points?
