If I don't like the F/O on the trip, it logs in as the F/O and calls in sick, and immediately takes him off of the trip. Is that what is going on here? Maybe he got a copy of my bot.

Dude, don't be a one-way - share the technology!

Does it do the same if the captain I'm flying with is an a-hole??

I've got a Bot. A Robot.

Looks like Elizabeth Hurley. Great for weekend layovers.

One way on this one, not sharing. Not that there's anything wrong with those that do.

I'll let you know since I'm headed to the right seat. I'll get to try out the dump the captain option soon.

I'm way behind the times. What does F5 do?

I guess I've been luckier than I thought at trip trading.

It tells me that the 727 is currently undermanned but will soon be overmanned. But, you are the one that brought reserve utilization into the open time discussion. I just thought I would point out the guy and his bot could soon be excessed back to the whisper jet.
