We have an awesome committee and I greatly enjoy working with our LUS counterparts.
If Parker can dictate to the APA to get out of the way, do nothing, and let the IVR jumpseat proceed, I may have restored faith in the APA's abilities.

I'm confident that LAA guys will grow to like the System. I could probably live with a hybrid, but I think over the next two years they'll end up liking our system enough to drop the hybrid idea.

If APA doesn't drop the hybrid idea, not to worry, Parker and his crack troop IT team have already put it very last on the priority list of "things to get around to later, maybe". Parker dictates. The APA says "but, but, but".. Parker dictates again. The APA says "how high." Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

When it comes down to it, nobody cares what APA or the pilots think. You can take polls and write letters and stand tall and loud at meetings, but it doesn't make any difference.
This is something that will be decided by the company and it will be done by them with their interests in mind. And the only think they care about is making sure people reliably get to work. They don't care about you getting home, they don't care about you going on vacation or going to see your girlfriend.
The system that makes sure people get to work when they're supposed to is the one that is going to be implemented, no matter what any of you want.

Thank you for the info, and for your work on the committee.
