FWIW I thought they could only change the portion of the schedule in the next bid period but I've had them change stuff in the current bid period too. Called ALPA scheds and they showed me the PWA reference they says they can do that too. Carry-out trips can be a real crap-shoot.

Seems like it's usually just a flight number changed. When they do actually make a significant change, it's always worse!

I once had a 4 day trip that involved lots of legs on days 3 and 4. It was modified into a 3 day trip with 1 leg out, 30 hour layover, 1 leg back. Total block was like 2:15 for a 15:45 trip, too bad those don't just show up in the bid package from time to time.

Place your bets on whether the upgrade to the next Win OS will brick the Surface 3 or just render it lame :D

I think that it is just lightning and hail, no radar. Maybe I am wrong. I hope I am!

No radar. Some day perhaps.

I thought it had tops? Shows how much I've read about it thus far... I had big plans on the ocean crossing later today. :cool:

Only works in the domestic system for the moment anyway. Doh!

Are we supposed to delete the old FWV once we install FWV+?

No. They use different turbulence modeling and + won't work for ocean crossings. FWV and the new FWV+ will eventually be merged into one app.
