Well within my short stint of DX'ing so far I have learned a few things already. Low viz, alternates, ARINC sucks a lot of the times, but one thing just drives me nuts...
Why the hell do we insist on sending GHMC crews from DTW and MSP into the entire state of MI (both upper and lower) during the winter is beyond me. Seriously, lake effect all day, crappy vis, xwinds beyond landing limits, and MUs no higher than 25 most of the time.
That and for some reason YKF wont post NOTAMS into our systems anymore. No idea why, they just dont do it so we have to look them up via the web seperate from every other NOTAM we look at.
That, and our planning system for some reason wont put middle names on our releases into Canada when we generate them. So after we create the release, we need to go back into the system and insert them manually. We forget, its like a 10000 dollar fine per name or something. Damn Canadians
Stupid. ugh
Anyone got any stories?
