Wait, you guys show up more than 30 minutes prior?!

bruhaha

It works as advertised, even requesting it manually more than 30 minutes prior. If you do pull it prior to getting the PDC, the thing you have to watch out for is that what comes up in the box is what you are actually cleared for. As it appears what comes prior to the PDC is what is filed by the company in SABRE. So as far as I'm concerned, by the time you mess with it and enter the runways, SIDs, STARs, and clear out all the DISCOs, you might as well have entered it all manually. (and for the flights I fly anyways, none of the flight plan matters, as the first thing we get after getting handed off from departure to center is climb to final and cleared direct to the destination outer marker.)

634 also had the QRH (and the keys to the lockbox still in the lock.) The tail number specific QRHs have been laying around in the training center in the simulator building well before any of the recent 320 deliveries. The aircraft manufacturer has to supply a set of manuals with each aircraft - normally two sets of manuals are supplied. It's up to the customer to do what it wants with the supplied aircraft manuals. Since the normal checklist in the QRH doesn't match Spirit's normal checklist.

Now if we could only get gate assignment and in-range via ACARS and load uplink, we'd be complete.

Remember a year ago we had the gate assignments sent to us via ACARS? It was live for a few weeks and then, just like Keyser Soze, gone (poof)

Yeah, it was like two days they were sending gate assignments and it was pretty cool. Then, nothing. On the third day, I remember sending a message to DX asking for gate assignment, never heard anything back.

The Juice

Clearly DX saw that the inquiry came from the "right side box" and paid it no mind...haha

Hahahahaha!! Suckers! I did the "reach over" and typed from the CA box!

I didn't want to get crude, this is a family oriented forum.
