[QUOTE="TechGrrl, post: 961576, member: 4932"] Speaking as someone retired from the group responsible for maintaining TFCS, and who was part of at least 3 failed attempts to replace it, it's worse than you think. TFCS duplicates most of the functionality of Load Handling. They are both archaic, mainframe based systems. Unfortunately, when a company considers IT to be a cost center to be penny-pinched, rather than a strategic strength, cost-justifying replacement is almost impossible. Ongoing maintenance of both of those systems is only maybe a million dollars a year, being generous. A replacement project would be in the tens of millions, assuming the Air guys and the ground guys could agree on a common functionality. Which they never have, and never will. To paraphrase Hillary Clinton's supporters in 2008: "Company Unity My A&&!" or CUMA! [/QUOTE]
