Opps. sorry. thought that question was for me…carry on

Oook is it accessible online from a phone at least, or is that why airport show time is 1 hour? What does Delta do with its money instead of modernizing its information infrastructure(other than buying refineries since they still print plenty more)?

To be fair, we will have a digital flight plan app by this summer

And the hour prior is actually just airport report. You aren't really "required" to be at the airplane until 30-40 prior. Can't remember which one

Haha! They tried it but a lot of the 88 guys were using indelible ink on their Surfaces. We're not allowed to have nice things here.

But instead we have to buy some new software/program and be retrained.

Simple is better.
