Online Scheduling

Greg Esres wrote in message . ..
Our flight school is currently trying to move to an online, internet
based scheduling system, using a service provided by "MyFBO".

The idea is to schedule via the internet (even when standing at the
counter at the flight school) for all flights that occur after the
current day. Every morning, the staff will print out a schedule for
the day and any changes for that day must be done to the paper
schedule.

Why would you ever print out the schedule? Just buy a $50 old computer
(or have a member donate one ready for the trash) and just look a the
schedule on the computer? If you print it out, its going to be out of
date within minutes. Its an oddity of the older generation that they
want to print stuff out and turn off their cell phones.

I'm not clear on why they decided this route. Probably in case the
internet connection goes down when there's a bunch of people standing
at the desk to get their airplanes.
