That would defeat the purpose of implementing it in the first place. I don't know, apparently mainline is doing it and I heard while in training we're going to get it on the next build. Don't shoot the messenger.

Wonder who decided to make the primary transfer point to the Eagles Nest from T6 now. All those people who arrive in T4, now having to walk two terminals over to catch the bus. Does anyone know if the bus from T4 will still continue to operate every 5 minutes like it always has?

From what Iv seen it works pretty well at mainline. I'm sure we would double check the bag count/location. But how long does that take? 3 seconds? I mean, when the perf data comes back it will likely have tail# and flight#, people and bag count. It's just there for you already as seats are counted during boarding when tickets are scanned, and bags are uploaded the second they close the bin. What more do you need? Saves tons of time IMO. Now instead of waiting for the pax counts and bag counts, they are loaded up to the system and likely sent to us up front long before we would even have the paper copy in the first place.

It said the number of the gates in the eagles nest changed from the 44's to 60's. They also have increased the bus frequency. According to the email that increased frequency is only at term 6, (that's how I read it, and from experiencing the lack of frequency in term 6 compred to term 4) but I would expect also term 4 may have some increased frequency soon as AA mainline is sill there correct? Plus it's travel season now. But terminal 4 never had a frequency issue in the past. Terminal 6 however, was pathetic.
The view file on the iPad better explains it. Nowhere does it say terminal 4 bus has stopped. In fact, the map on the iPad view file clearly shows both terminal 4 and 6 have buses to the gates 60A-60I (the eagles nest with new numbers).

Just this morning I loaded one runway, based on the current ATIS, but the winds were favoring the opposite runways. I loaded both just incase ATC decided to change it and they did end up changing it. That's one less call to had to make to ops:
"Hey, can we get knew numbers for the other runway?"
Though, I don't know how their system works just my armchair thinking on the outside looking in.
