You were voice at Brand-X?

CPDLC now at least?

Yeah, everything was voice over there. We don't quite have full CPDLC yet on the 767 (and definitely no ADS), but being able to pick up the oceanic was nice. Frankly, it's all so new to me that I really don't know yet what it's capable of fully.

Actually, what made me do a little happy dance was the *bing* and having the ETOPS weather update just show up out of the blue. At the last gig we used to have to call dispatch over the Satcom (and god help you if that wasn't working!) to get our own updates.

Damn, I might have stayed if my job had been that easy! Love new magic in the cockpit!

If you cross with new york, your tower clearance is now your oceanic route clearance. Radar will just give you a mach number and an altitude before leaving vhf coverage.
