They were previously released by category, which resulted in a constant stream of complaints about why some categories came out first. It's also more efficient to upload all the results at once vs uploading one category at a time.

Basically most Bs would release... and two days later ATL88Bs would release.

As I said, haven't heard a reasonable argument why we should delay schedules for thousands of pilots on our list every month. Every category has its pluses and minuses...bid accordingly if it matters. And there's no way some efficiency of uploading results should outweigh the thousands of man-days of additional notice many of us could have to plan and shuffle our personal lives. What does that "loading efficiency" gain... an hour or two of one or two people's time?

JMHO.

My favorite is when it posts today sometime and you see that the run time was on Saturday morning, 2 days ago.

It's getting really old waiting 5 or 6 days for them to come out every month, but I guess compared to all of the other IT shortcomings at DL this one is pretty low priority.
Just change it so that A's can't be released until all awards are released. Problem would be solved in a week.

There's no "probably" about it. Schedules all being released at the same time would just move everyone to the contract limit though.

Wrong. The captain *****ing would move it to the front end.

I know you jest (I am guessing) but that would eliminate the ability to fly with lCA or fly with/avoid your favorite captain.
