I was merely being sarcastic. Not that you are a literal kool-aid drinker. My apologies if that didn't come across as I intended.

Myself, and a few others would not sign off on its use. So they trashed the system and upgraded what they already had, which was a perfectly fine system.
Plus the guy from Boeing/Preston was just plain creepy...

trashpilot

where is it a contract violation i have read the contract over an over .

Everytime a pilot calls an we send them to the CP they ask where in the contract it says alpa has to approve anything?

Cessna your right it not unreasonable to expect problem while its new. Its only phase one of eight phases process.

Haha, yeah, but he worked for Australians, so I guess that is to be expected. What was the name of that god-aweful FlightView replacement?

Glad to see someone from Flight Control (I assume you're FC and not DX by the screen name) posting here. Althought I'm not sure which one you are, something tells me you probably know who I am.

I'm sure they know the difference. The also know that we had capabilities under the SBS system that were negotiated in our contract that are not available to us with this new interface.

What would be the harm in the company working with ALPA on this? ALPA warned management for weeks that this was a bad idea.

Looks like DS is coming off of the seniority list. It's about time. Now when is Delta going to kick this poor used car salesman to the curb. I'd bet this airline could be much more sound and cost efficient without this Bozo at the helm. Better yet, they need to kick him out of management and put him back on the line. I'd love to rag on that dude for four days.

It was called AADS and the icons for the program are still on alot of the SOCC workstations. I think it is safe to say you know who I am too... I think I spoke to you on the phone more than my own family during the Christmas of 2006 and it's meltdown haha.

- the Professor

P.S. - I have your email but I have been on vacation...will look them up when I get back tomorrow. I also have a story or two about the new F/Cer position and how it hosed some of our friends up in the Ramp Tower.

Okay, then back to my original question. So they have not endorsed "eMaestro" (the web based pilot interface), but what about Maestro (the scheduling computer). Is it a go?

Haha ahhh yes, the good ol' days of AADS, how could I forget. No hurries on the email. My fleetwatch login doesn't work anymore and I don't have access to Falcon. Just trying to bring my logboook up to date. Did you and KG ever go flying a couple weeks ago?

Has anyone flown one of our new departures out of CVG yet?

The BNGLE dept is by far the best departure in the country, just like the team!

I wouldn't mind seeing the JBNCH go and be replaced by a PROSE.

If you bungle the BNGLE do you still need to ASAP it?
