Wait till you find out ALPA was offered a price to outright purchase the ACE app, for a
fraction of what 1 year’s cost had been. And they said “no”. Auto-ID would have worked instantly (in fact, was “turned on” 2-weeks before the contract ended to 100% prove to the pilot group that Auto-ID 1.0 was, indeed, ready. And had been for a year, obtw).
The so-called “billing dispute” was a total sham by DALPA, and I believe a false flag to let them terminate ACE.
There is always a little more to the story. That whole episode will forever leave a very bad taste in my mouth for the MEC chair and reps involved.
