Worked perfectly yesterday! But then again, the wind uplink actually worked as well.

Not being a financial wizard (as a quick look at my bank account will attest to!), what exactly does this move mean… the stock buyback?

Thanks

Basically it means they find the stock undervalued and can buy a whole lot of shares at a good price/value.

It works, but not sure if it is something I'll be using. You have to request the PDC first so 30 minutes out is the earliest you can even do it. SIDS and Stars are not included and all "discos" need to be removed.

So if I was sitting there, with paperwork, I'd feel pretty pathetic to say "waiting 30 minutes prior" before entering the flight plan in, in order to save 3 minutes of inputs.

But, hey it's there!! I'm sure many will love it.

Maybe one day we can upload our correct pay credits and see them as well!!!

That was something I hadn't thought of. 30 mins prior may be a bit too late as plugging in the flight plan takes just a minute or two.

Stock buy backs are a way of "giving back" to investors. Not only does the company reduce the amount of shares available to the public (which has the knock on effect of adding value to the remaining shares and increasing P/E ratios), but usually uses it to avoid excessive cash on hand problems. The ability to buyback shares is a "big confidence boost" for Wall Street analysts as well.

Let's hope we're leading the charge in, NOT reacting and following JetBlue, Southwest or Delta in.

Actually, the flight plan can be "automatically" uploaded more then 30 minutes prior to blastoff. On the secondary flight plan init page, just select "flt plan init."

Depending on the city pairs, the ACARS will also print out a Starbucks coupon.

I can't remember the last time I had paperwork more than 30 min prior.
