What do you do during a turn
. shut the jet down, find a office with a fax... review the paperwork?
Technology is light years beyond from the ‘70s. Flight plan and aircraft status is sent via email. We can access the same on the iPad too. It takes the same time be it in the car, operations, flight deck to decide on fuel, route modification due weather, etc.
Is it really necessary to waste the time walking 5 miles to Dispatch then walking another 10 miles to the jet?
The trusty mobile phone can put me in contact with Dispatch should the need arise. After all M5000, they have more important tasks at hand rather than taking to you when they don’t need to.
Report back to this forum, after you’ve gained some experience, and report your views on this matter.
