You can use old passwords, you just have to wait two or three cycles before it will accept an old one again. Rinse and repeat.

GT interns aren't dummies. I know one that was 4.0 in high school and at Tech in Aero E. Too smart to stay at Delta. So smart he would get the company seats at Braves games while I couldn't sniff one.

I remember ATILA. It became self-aware and they couldn't turn off the ACARS messages. For 12 months we were told to just ignore them.

Scary.

Once the dot matrix printers become self-aware...that’s pretty much the end

The main intern rode our jumpseat. He did it all for free when it wasn’t funded. Worked great. Now that it’s funded (with Delta IT taking over) it’s lacked innovation and has bugs frequently rear their heads. Coincidence?

According to the help section on micrew, feedback is submitted via FCR.

Why doesn't Delta just buy iCrew Max and put regular iCrew out to pasture? I've never used iCrew Max but from watching others use it seems way more user friendly.

I can't believe they are using interns to make MiCrew. Nothing against GT interns (I'm sure they're very smart) and for what it is MiCrew isn't bad but why is this such a low priority that they are only using interns?

This is amateur league type stuff for an app and I’m not even an IT person.
