Can't wait for the series of calls that happen all the time when the numbers don't match the passenger load and we've got "no tolerance" - ground, Delta 123, will it be ok if we park here for a while?
It is about ACS, and its not their sacred D-0 (That goes into the DOT measurement that DL would sorely like to improve). When FNWA went to the current proc, ACS was told that the delays would sky rocket, they said no...it's all about when the flight is closed out and not letting last minute runners and bags on. Do we really need 5 different sets of numbers for 2 or 3 different runways? When the majority uses the same grouping most of the time, third one down.
