The NOTAMS, MEL, Flt log, Fuel and more are all presented in one easy to use page. It also feeds the flight plan automatically to FD Pro and Widget WX.
Second Oaknotes. The only reason I open Mission+ is to extract data. Try it out. Notams are phenomenal.

Just went to John’s website. It appears that Delta killed Oaknotes. Anyone have some intel?

Maybe it was the part where he had a QR code to donate money to him for “coffee.”

I don’t understand. A guy puts his own free time into developing a tool that makes the company’s expensive trash partially useful, makes that tool completely free for any and all to use without registration or even ad-viewing…and then includes a non-obtrusive electronic tip cup for folks (like me) to thank him for his efforts. You’re saying this would be the cause for Delta to have it taken down?

I guess nothing surprises me about Delta or their IT anymore. The Oaknotes guy should be getting the Chairman’s Club Award for actually advancing technology for Delta completely pro-bono. Meanwhile, a former employee (Curly) gets full access to our seniority list and associated PII to charge for paid subscription services. SMH.

Don’t forget to take the Mission+ survey - closing soon!

The company believes that any shortcut that “modifies” delta data is a violation of the IT policy. That’s why the shortcut that opens the various apps is still available. They also have concerns about the reliability of a third party process, and since they have widespread knowledge about its use there could potentially be liability if they don’t act to stop it.

I love oaknotes, and will continue to use it as long as it works. But I do understand why the company pulled the plug.

John was recognized last year with the Chairman's club. Long overdue!

Indeed! But John didn’t make Oaknotes. That guy should be in the club too, well before others who shall remain unnamed.

Joe O. It’s a shame Delta shut it down. I’m sure it’s due to nothing other than being embarrassed and outclassed!
