No offense taken. However, as we recall from group dynamics 101, people generally dislike "change" (like manual bidding to PBS, Jepps to Lidos). Or like anything else to rock the boat. However, you are correct that quality of life for pilots has nothing to do with managements’ reasoning, but savings for the company does. By savings I mean AUTOMATION. If the company can reduce the workload or manpower of a position that works on trip trades by replacing (it) them with a computer algorithm, then they will. Do not let your discouragement of management short sight the idea of progress, technology, and (savings) automation in our business.
