It does do that

Yes. Filler.

Not really. You need to go and find it in the Flight Management tab and there is no notification when it's ready.

No, it doesn't. There's a roughly 10 minute delay between when it's available through MiCrew and when it's available through Mission-.

Nice to know I have 31 origin NOTAMS, 86 alternate and enroute notams, and 45 destination notams, but I can’t see the fuel load. Still making me laugh that they put the amount of notams on the home page. We can’t get an arrival at the gate time or fuel load on main page, but we now don’t have to count the notams by hand.

Not in my experience. Generally I have to let the CA know when it's ready so he can send himself the HTML. Either way, it's generally at or before the hour prior to domestic departures which is more than enough time to get it. There is a lot to be critical of the app but this isn't it.

You don't need to go and find it. That's just where it is and where you start every flight. It's basically the home page of the app. And if pops up when it's available, generally about an hour prior to departure.

It can't be sent an hour before departure. Even if the dispatcher has finished the flight plan, it won't release it to us until exactly an hour. My Flight Manager never has any of my flights. I have to manually enter the flight number every time. And it's always late. I can send myself the HTML flight plan on MiCrew, but then it takes about 10 minutes for that flight plan to show up in Flight Manager.

It doesn't "pop up" unless you're sitting on that page. It would be easy for them to push the flight plan and notify you it's ready.

You mean you just don't quickly scroll through them looking for orange or red highlighted ones? :)
