This is happening more and more.
FMP LONDON will ring up and say airborne not before so and so time, this time is passed to the flight deck of said slot aircraft after a while the crew ask to send a ready which you are unable to as it is not a computer slot.
I understand why this is done but it is a pain in the back side why do they not do it the propper way via the computer.
After all when is a slot not a slot when the FMP put a phone slot on.
This is just another way to make the management look good by not recording via the computer the slot delays and who gets the bonuses??
Yes not the ones on the shop floor doing the work but the ones in there pin striped suits in an office who need to get out into the real world of moving traffic.
