1. it will eventually, it’s what the company wants
the problem is the skill of the PDS is just not up to that level yet; it would require plans to be 100% finished by the time preload starts and that’s sadly not the case in a lot of centers
2. the root cause of this is poor setup of the loops and the base RDO underneath ORION; in theory if the AM/PM sides of a loop are correct, ORION parameters could be adjusted to accomplish what you’re asking for
3. i could write a bunch of words about the comms system, but the short answer is yhat would require a pretty large investment in a wifi data system and we just aren’t there yet
4. there is as of a few months ago, at least the time allowance bit; i think the EDD should also identify irreg stops but i don’t think the company is interested in that
5. oh man you have no idea how bad it really is, it’s my living hell every day
however, it is going to be getting much much better there is an integration push being worked on by all the nerds, i send them feedback on it too
oh and thanks for the last comment, just what i needed after i try to explain the state of things to you
