ClippedCub....
Understood.....thats why I asked.
Is it possible to have support from the ground when these ACARS messages come streaming in? That would make more sense.
The messages were not looked at till later, after the fact. And I assume this is the first time they have been so scrutanized.
I guess my faith in modern technology has taken a hit, and I assume that there has to be a way in this day and age to make these systems even safer than they already are.....
