Did you guys realize they can't give you a briefing for a

Total BS, but you knew that.


Perhaps not total. The system may be programmed (currently) to
require a destination different from the departure point. Hopefully
that will be corrected.

It shouldn't have been. It has always been legitimate and the old
FAA-run computers never had a freaking problem with it.

It's just the freaking Lockmart outsourced to the third world, no
motivation or incentive, to do things safe or right that screws it up.
