Gone are the days of just searching open time by the number of days in the trip...
No, now I have to ask myself how many crappy layovers I want, plus 1.

Well, it's out there. Only a matter of time I suppose, especially if the company is going to try and throw the crew under the proverbial bus.

Not really a smoking gun unless you can prove that it is that aircraft and an actual received message. There's pictures out there of all kinds of crazy stuff typed in to ACARS that hasn't been sent.

I'm thinking management probably already has it anyway, so the crew is probably screwed; if management is taking the "was an accident" angle.

Exactly why I was kind wondering if the stuff should be taken down. If...IF...the company decides to take a "cover it up" stance and they get word that the pic leaked it's not going to be hard to figure out who took it. I doubt the crew could get into serious trouble regarding this picture, but it COULD cause some drama.

If the company is going to try to hang it around the neck of the crew anyway, I don't think they really have much to lose.
I'd rather be fired as a probationary pilot than have some kind of FAA action against my certificate. Who knows if any of that is even a possible outcome, but given those two choices, if I were the picture-taker, I know what I'd be doing with the photo.

Nor does the ACARS free text page that we use to send a message look anything like the photo I saw. It clearly was a message received. I am fully convinced that the message did indeed come form dispatch and was legitimate.

And that's very true. Just trying to think conservatively

If someone is going to present it as evidence, there needs to be a clear chain of origin from the photographer to determine authenticity.
That's as true if it is going to the media as it would be the FAA.
I was wondering that, being an electronic system that it is, if there indeed was some form of electronic recordkeeping of everything sent via ACARS. Would make sense that there would be.

Can't get that to work. Oh well. Trying to do extra work is turning into too much work itself.
