I'm no geek squad computer technician, but that seems impossible to me. Chrome extensions don't just download themselves.

Also, I can't imagine the motive behind the idea that the Captain OP on Facebook actually uses it himself and decided to post on FB outing bot users. I mean, why?

The idea is that upon inadvertently seeing someone else's account, he caught a bot running on said person's account.

I wish he outed the person who was using it... But we will leave it to the union and company, but it only seems a couple guys in the union care.

I know this " thread" topic is different but it's go to my points of the bigger issues , unless f9 and the unions come out and make a point to the bot users, that if caught using a bot one can expect the worst !

Here is a link to the video someone posted advertising the bot in action on our own Frontier FLICA. If you look it starts on the "TPA" base page but when it refreshes it always reverts back to YOUR base. Which in this case after it refreshes it goes back to the MCO tab. So it looks like whoever is advertising it is an MCO FO.
Sucks to be getting screwed over by your own fellow pilots when those who play fair also are trying to do better for themselves and their family.
