I believe its only if you have problems logging into Maestro. They make it sound like this was some big surprise. Every new system has its growing pains. I can remember when EclipsX was released and we (the ramp tower) had very limited training in it, and the system would crash almost daily. But we worked through it and ironed out all of the bugs. ALPA expects Maestro to be absolutely perfect and free of all bugs from day 1, and that is completely unreasonable.

Also, with ALPA's latest doom and gloom email, whats with them saying that we're already short staffed and it will be worse in July and August? People everywhere (even 700/900 F/Os) are complaining that they're not getting enough hours. I saw some JFK F/Os that only flew an out/back all May. Short staffed? Baloney!
