Perspex & marker pens are far easier to work with with respect to programming a section, as it allows a full overview of 3, sometimes 4, months at a time, and allows one's colleagues to perform gross error checks. People can also pop in to the office and have a quick check one their, or anyone elses, programme.
Sadly the Air Force is becomming i.t.-obsessed, with e-mails being sent to next-door offices instead of popping next door in person to 'chew the fat'. In many ways i.t.-osession is a retrograde step with respect to flight safety.
