My post on this subject was not tinged with a "your way sucks" tone. You are way too sensitive to be reading that in to it. The guy was slamming Nosmo for bringing up his opinion of the fNWA technology and software. The response was defensive and unresponsive.
I don't think the obvious problems with our current technology has anything to do with the integration. It doesn't work with the same pilots, planes and bases (think ATL) that were here before the integration. Now we have this new AWABS after pushback procedure as a band-aid fix to the larger problem of an overly complex portrayal of performance data. Many fDAL pilots have said the same thing about this new process - even calling it an embarrassment. Why is it that the fDAL guys can speak their minds, but the fNWA are chastised if they try?
I know this will not go anywhere with you because I didn't deliver it in a heart shaped box of candy, but what the heck.

You missed the boat again. The procedures and systems worked great before the merger at DAL... What you now see is a hodgepodge-thrown-together integration trying to get a quick SOC. Now we're going back behind having to clean up all the sawdust.
Even Dickson fought the new AWABS procedure. It's what happens when senior management desk drivers stick their fingers in flight operations after getting fed up with ACS complaining about not being able to get flights out on time. My impression is that once this fails miserably, then we will be able to do what we really need to do with the procedures. Don't believe they kool-aid that it's working fine in the memos... they know that it is jacked up.
