Gives them the one and only get out of jail free card (we told you to stop). I think the runway change not being required every time is why they don't stop us from doing that one the fly. Again, JMHO. The bright side of all this is that the beacon can come on much faster as we will no longer be waiting on numbers!

YMMV...Philly
