You may be close to correct aboutDelta's IT, but I can assure you it is light years ahead of what UAL has.

I'm guessing this has much more to do with how many training cycles they want to soak up and how many bypasses they're willing to pay. Then running it up the chain to get buy-in from the bosses who control the purse strings. I went into this AE thinking I would be extremely surprised to see results prior to Friday. Sounds like it may now be tomorrow, but either way another day or two isn't a biggie.

West coast guys putting in WS requests in east coast time, seriously, although this is I-crew related I guess.
20 to 30 foot long scrolls that substitute for a flight plan - ancient Egyptian technology at its finest.
I can go on and on, and when we were losing billions of dollars each year we had a justification for such rants. But now that we are printing Benjamin’s by the billions I tend to cut the management guys a little more slack.
OBTW AMR and UAL may have better tech but they probably screw things up more than our crack team.

I would have been fine waiting until next week, but then they raised my expectations.

Again, I doubt it’s true, but we did buy an oil refinery just to dodge the crack spread, and have some control over our price.
