There has been some talk at our airline (SKYW) about moving to a "brick system," in which pilots still carry destination airports, but all the alternates are put in a shrink wrapped "brick" issued to the airplane. You only break into the brick if you actually go to an alternate that isn't a regular destination (i.e. almost never) to reduce costs and save pilots' backs from lifting 40+ lb flight cases all the time.
I'm sick of getting a hernia every time I lift my flight case, and it takes almost an hour to do a revision, partly because we carry around so many airports we don't fly to. Not to mention the fact that it takes my three 2" binders + one 1" binder to fit all that crap.
Do any of you work for carriers that are already doing the brick? If so, does it work well?
