Otherwise, all you're doing is lobbying Flt Ops to pick a winner based on the analysis of the 40%, hoping they rule in your favor. The 60%, meanwhile, will not be part of the discussion.
The only way you respect everyone's opinion is to involve everyone. I've never flown with a FNWA guy. I don't know how you want to do things, nor do I know why you want them done that way. Because only a very small fraction of us have in fact worked together, I know there is no consensus on Best Practices. There can't possibly be.
Sink,
I agree.........and while I have no vote, my vote would be to wait a bit, let the smoke clear a bit because only then will we get a clear picture on what is good and bad.
Ok, I'm being lazy because I'm too tired to go back and redo everything again. But, I also think I need to get used to what we are doing now so I can give it a fair shake.
For example, I like pushing WITH the load data set. I'm also liking AWABS so far. The flight planning documents and checklists, not so much. But give me a few months.......who knows.
