At least one of those two went out as a last minute GS so that pilot benefited as well. If you’re going to talk about giving away such a massive thing, there better be a massive quid for us. I’m opposed to any changes in CNO but will officially pick up the pitch fork if we give it away for nothing like we did with batch sizes.
Again I never said give anything up, the AA system has an option to either be notified by a phone call or app message much like Arcos. I’ve had this happen recently where I never even had the call come through with my carrier and I just see a vm to text, I’ve called and they’ve got no answer as to why that happens. Could be a delta thing or not, my point is people are getting way wrapped around the axel about needing it to be some live scheduler. The company in Ed’s own words is moving towards AI, it creates ton of efficiencies much like our smart phones. Not having to deal with scheduling or tracking is a huge time saver but some folks here would rather waste away on it to make money here and there. Maybe we should should go back paper jepp charts and briefcases. Hell why not go back to paper bidding I miss that a whole bunch. Cue the 6 pack crowd too.
