Default APA/AA collusion against 3rd party apps

It finally happened. The APA and AA got together to cancel the 3rd party apps we've come to rely on for schedule enhancements as well as many other features.

Gee... thanks.

Goodbye Litesabre, thank you Rob for a fantastic product that was intuitive to use, made my work-life so much better, and made me A LOT of money.

Hello b/s "me too" products that suck and are unreliable.

It does seem wild that the company allowed a carveout for one guy to sell a product. He was lucky that it lasted this long.

Don't you know TTS will be better with more ballots in the system? Ugh.

LS going away is a ding to the users QoL for sure. But the optimist in me says gee, maybe trading with OT will be like TTOT used to be, or better?

Then the pessimist in me calls the optimist a jack@$$

Good,
I never understood how anyone could allow a pilot to profit off his union brothers.
That software should have been free and managed by the company or the union.

​​​​​​​God forbid someone get paid a fair value for providing a service that the APA/AA were unable or unwilling to provide.

The announcement was "all third party apps".

If CMP cannot have FOS access, how can pay be audited?

I emailed the David tonight to find out.

Wow....


LS earned me an order of magitude more that what it cost.

LS earned me money.
LS gave me more time with my family.
LS made living with AA's insane DOS based IT palatable.

Yep.

Losing LS is going to hurt in a big way.

I 100% think APA was behind all this. LS makes their horrible apps look even worse.

I blame APA
