Paper Releases
So thinking about cost savings and general waste of resources, how soon are we getting rid of the paper release/flight plan? Getting tired of answering questions about why we still use dot matrix printers at the gate.

Unless the Okidata printers start breaking or we run out of paper, I give it another 5 years.

Delta is your wealthy uncle who drives a 17 year old
Cadillac. Hes not selling it because it still runs. He can afford a new one, but part of the reason he is wealthy is because he is still driving that damn car. I plan on stuffing the paper flight plan and weather update into a grey bag on my retirement flight a couple decades from now. Im just surprised it wont be on the mad dog.
