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?
Read my post again. My "no sarcasm here" was intended to highlight the obvious sarcasm. I can't remember the Simpsons episode but my comment was to parody an episode where one of the guys was frightened about something he hadn't done. Just a joke. When I fly to the islands or central america I give position reports. Once I'm senior enough to bid away from Africa then I am coming over the international side. I could certainly hold ER right now, but I'd be a junior line holder as a 2001 hire and Africa just doesn't excite me.
What the heck is CPDLC anyways?
