Yes SV, I am aware of what is going on between NATCA and the FAA. I should have added something like "until the setback last summer". Curious to learn whether or rather how long the FAA's policies to ignore ATCO's input will persist. In a way it is a repetition of a traditional FAA HQ attitude isn't it.
I am knowledgable with ERAM. While being in touch, is there still or again anything moving on passive CTAS down there at Dallas. What I remember is that the automatic sequencing advice worked promisingly under stable runway conditions, but was messy for about twenty minutes when there was a change in north-south runway orientation.
When I visited Dallas last, would you believe 10th September 2001, I was also told or given to understand that CTAS was halted by NATCA to counteract FAA's policies at the time, probably a previous round of salary negotiations.
