Anyone peddling a different story either has no idea what they are talking about, or has an agenda and was in some way personally vested in the outcome of ACE.

STS, while certainly not perfect at this point, the code is fully owned by ALPA. If a developer acts up, a new one is a phone call away. Capturing comprehensive data via API is exceptionally challenging due to Delta's patchwork IT infrastructure, but it is progressing and will weave its way into the workflow for ALPA's scheduling team over time. There are no shortcuts to doing this right.

As irritating as it is, IT projects dont happen quickly.
