No, in my experience, thats not what makes the ACARS 'latch' to a flight number. Even if you follow your procedure, the ACARS will latch on the third leg flight number. If you're lucky enough to get an airplane all day, and do 4+ legs, you'll find after the third leg it will latch...
This could be true I honestly don't completely understand why it latches, but my IOE captain mentioned that typing it in causes it. Also haven't flown 3+ legs in one airplane, so I have never seen this.
Man I'm just lazy if I wanted to work I would have gone to...

People aren't here complaining about how arduous it is to call for a clearance. Imagine if the FO could send, receive and print every time, most importantly when it ends up seconds within D-0? The FO could then have extra time (even if it's seconds) to help load the flight plan. Be positive, shave off seconds where ever possible, be part of the solution, not the problem. Even regardless of D-0. If you call for push 10 seconds sooner, maybe you won't have to wait for 3 into the alley, one of which is a tow-in. That then saves 6 minutes, which allows the return flight to actually make up some time. And get back to the schedule. And that means the gates are available... Ect ect ect.
Seconds count boys and girls. The sooner we use that mentality, the sooner we can start to win flying again.

That's kind of a cynical way to add to the conversation. The ACARS software is not right. It needs fixed. Why even have PDCs? What's the purpose? Using your argument of 'it's not so bad to call clearance' then all airlines should not use a digital PDC system. That would be a mess. Have you ever been number 14 on clearance delivery frequency waiting for your turn?

Oh boy. Some snow in the Midwest. Let's make sure scheduling freaks out over the 25 or so flights we do a day out of MSP.

Couldn't agree more. Talked to them twice yesterday and got through immediately and the scheduler sounded bored. They like to make a big deal out of minor events.

People writing up dumb ****** like that on a quick turn is what is slowing us down. I guarantee if you look hard enough in the airplane you can find one stupid thing to write up at any given time. If you are truly thinking about the big picture tell your FO that is whining about the stupid clearance or printer not printing to call clearance and write down the damn ATIS
