I don't know if I want an untrained person up front. They won't intentionally touch anything, but I'm sure there will be times where they are trying to get the dirt in between the panels with a hose and bump a switch or two. Or knock off something important. I remember a lot of us had a fit when Mgmt tried to have the gate agents wake up the A/C in the morning for whatever reason they thought was important at the time. The agents were doing what they were trained to do, but walking into a cockpit with switches possibly out of place makes me edgy. But then again, I'm not a very good pilot, and I need all the help I can get.

I'm sure that is the main challenge but no need to reinvent the wheel most other major airlines have a way of doing it.

I total everything up at the end of the month and wait for my pay audit and check to come to compare. Never had a problem and I'm very meticulous. The one time I did it was an addition error by me and I embarrassed myself with payroll.

Not to sound like a whiny d!ck, but why the hell do our bid packets come out so late every month? At this point, we won't have our final schedules until the last week of the month. There's no reason for it. It makes planning anything a PITA.
