As a DAL domestic guy how would you know? Also - no sarcasm either - please enlighten me on a) how does it frighten you, and b) how it is any different than what you or anyone else does?
FWIW The plotting charts are for SA only, not for navigation, and yes they are archaic - probably a throw back to when it was done via celestial nav. As far as position reports I hear DAL giving them also - I guess all your aircraft are not CPDLC equipped either?
