There was never any API access that ACE used for their Auto-ID. It took MPI/RPH text files and compared rerouted messages. It was never reliably programmed to catch edge cases such as gate returns and diversions. Pay calculations were also not 100% as end of rotation credit calculations were never fully fleshed out.

Also, any programming around 12.D.4 and 8.D.3 when tested returned results that were sometimes sub 50% accurate and still required extra work to validate.

The full capabilities of auto-ID in its end state were essentially generating a list that would need to be manually audited by scheduling committee members to ensure accuracy. It was not a magical automated compliance tool that people wish to believe.
