If I offended anyone when I mentioned Japan and glowing, sorry. I'll probably be sending flights over to that part of the world and will be watching out for the crews.
That being said, I can understand Dispatchguy's comment about "reinventing the wheel". Every airline has processes (for that matter everything we do in life is a process). I have yet to see a process that is perfect. There are hiccups in every process, and sometimes when that happens someone decides to change the process without accepting that hiccups happen. Now if the process is having the reoccuring hiccup, yes, by all means change it. But if it's just one of those things that just happens once in a blue moon, sometimes it's best just to accept it and go on. I've had proceeses change where I'm at now because of a hiccup, and in my prior life I've had procees change because of the same reason. It's just part of life and you learn to roll with it...
