About 1.69 years ago, I asked a VP that was on a flight I was sitting next to (whilst on a DH) why we haven’t upgraded our scheduling and programming software. He (basically) said, we are making do and it would be cost prohibitive. I looked at him and asked, “so constant printing and pencil work is the solution in the 21st century?” He shrugged and said well it’s worked so far.
I wonder how much manpower has been blown in the last 6.9 weeks

A.W. on "The Line" said a separate program makes the aircraft routings and then the data is put on a tape for transfer, which then takes many hours to load into FOS.

That's the core of our airline, computers transfering data with tapes that take hours to load.

Read the same post. Not a joke. Frightening.

There were hardly any one month leaves. And this overall went super senior.
