However, the pilots quickly learned the FOS commands to do the trading and pickups rendering Slick Ric's tantrum worthless. I hope you all do the same.
Yep. I was there. It immediately followed a request by the company to put a pause on an old LOA to allow them to be able to withhold open time. Union said no to the request, so the company shut down Quicktrade. My responce was to go crazy picking up the OT... almost all of which cancelled anyway so I got paid to do nothing (for those unfamiliar, all OT there pays at premium rates too). Quicktrade was a really well made app.
I haven't been here long enough to be enamored with LS. I don't really find its user interface better than the latest union app. But there are some features I will miss. I will miss the motivator. Made $500 from that this month alone. DH seat improver is nice. I don't think that requires FOS so maybe he can keep that going but it would have to be a lot cheaper.
