Won't cover X-rays

Nor sarcasm.

Even if you don't exceed the structural limits, this has the potential to duplicate QF72.....and that hurt quite a few people. I'm actually more interested though, in the difference between the older software and the new. I'm sure we'll never find out, but generally you'd expect newer to be better, but perhaps not always.

Thanks. Hopefully should be all fixed by tomorrow?.
Miss QS on JQ BNE to NTL tomorrow. Hopefully it departs

I guess you've never had to manage a bunch of programmers (I have).

Good news, it appears the fix will be completed prior to the EAD taking effect in approx 12hrs

Now, what was in the previous software (that they have now rolled back to) that required an update and why?.

Bit of overtime today no doubt for a few engineers!
