If the old AWABS worked so fantastic, why did we need to change to pushing without AWABS? The answer is obvious. The old AWABS didn't work. It was killing on time performance BEFORE employee integration. That's why management felt like they needed to make this change after integration. It's really quite simple...if the old AWABS worked "fantastic", we would still be using it.

I couldn't disagree more. AWABS is an embarrassing easter egg hunt for information. Totally scattered and disorganized. Topping it all off by manually entering V speeds even though the FMC is totally capable of doing it automatically. MGL was perfectly organized, gave you only the information that you needed and none of what you don't, and was so easy that crews could input all data quickly and safely while taxiing out. This is because we allowed the FMC software to work the way it was designed.
