In my opinion, this is just plain stupid. Our previous procedures weren't broke, so why "fix" them?
Also, on the -88, I can count on one hand the amount of departures we've delayed because the numbers weren't ready. I don't see where the problem is.
Cycle Pilot,
I am glad you stated that it's just your opinion, because our previous procedures are broke as evidence of our on time performance this summer. These changes are not only for flight ops, but for ACS, load control and the below the wing staff as well. Lets just give it a chance before we call the system "just plain stupid". Who knows maybe it will work.....
