These figures are D:0 for July 1-27th.
By the way I'm pretty sure he is referring to Horizon unless there is some other airline using EFBs for ACARS times with 50' of movement.

Two completely unnecessary transmissions.

TTOD:
CA today who had me ask every single controller for a ride report. I don't get it. If it's smooth, shut up and enjoy it. If it's bumpy, listen out on the frequency, because the controller invariably ends up giving the same information to everybody on frequency.
Sometimes (radio) silence is golden.

Doing it on ever radio request is somewhat cumbersome and toolish though.

Yeah, just leave your call sign off...no biggie.
Just say, "360" and see how that works for ya'.

Writers of "Destroyed in Seconds"
(Well, all reporters who purport to be aviation experts.)
First boo boo was calling two planes "aircrafts".
Second was in describing a Russian jump jet as a break thru in avionics since they were trying to be the first supersonic VTOL aircraft.
