When was the last time you took a #$%^ing delay due to W&B? If the Co actually thinks on time performance will improve with this system, I'm more worried about the folks running/ ruining this company.
Shed some light, please.

Agree. Very bad idea to just grab any old flap setting. This will reduce departure delays to some degree by allowing us to drop the brake before we receive our numbers because of the time it takes to check and input the numbers, followed by the remaining checklist. Now we drop the brake and push, and do all that other time consuming stuff while moving an aircraft around critically busy airports with one pilots head down.
I do not support this change.
My opinion only.

Good news! Growth! We now codeshare with an airline that doesn't fly to ANY of our hubs 😂. Can't make this stuff up. The level of incompetence at this place is mind boggling.

Never encountered a delay bc of W&B, unless it was caused by dispatch or AO totally effing up the paperwork/closeout.
Most of the recent D0/OTP issues I've encountered have been due to the new inflight verification procedure--the FAs seem to be taking way longer to do that vs. the older procedure. Has anyone else found themselves waiting for that buzz every leg?
They change things so often that no one ever becomes proficient with what we're doing--humans aren't iPads you can't just push updates to them like a neurotic software engineer. I hope someone somewhere understands that.
