Anybody know if AC's fleet has completed the upgrade?
This could make what will already be a bad weekend even worse.
On my fleet (which is at an arms length to AC) we got a memo that certain approaches are no longer authorized in the US. Unless the weather is very poor, I don't expect it to have much impact on operations. Upgrades are set to start in the coming weeks.
