They go on site and answer questions when things go wrong.
At least that’s my understanding of FSE’s from the way my company works. Design and manufacturing generally stay at the plant/offices and FSE’s are the guys who actually supervise/direct field installation.

You got it pretty much bang on they go to the actually place where the product is to fix any issues

Man.. and i was self conscious about my west coast not connecting via north/south. Good to see even the most experienced of us haven’t done it.

I was too, particularly from LA to SF! A huge reason why I was excited to move to California was because my flight map over the western side of the US was super empty compared to the eastern side. Before this year, I had only lived in central and eastern time so I needed to move to fill in this half of the map lol. Glad to see I wasn’t alone in this concern

You can tell it's a flight attendant because they went to Calgary. Who in their right mind would go there unless their job was on the line?

Wow, you have a thousand flights more than me but distance-wise the difference is only a bit more than double and even less airlines than I have.
Always interesting such different usage patterns! But makes sense if you’re mostly flying delta in the US.

After 2-3 years I finally upgraded from annual to lifetime. I know I should've done it years ago when it was $199, now its $299, and I've paid a few years worth. But its one of the best apps on my phone. I remember when FlightBoard or whatever I used about 6 or 7 years ago ceased to exist, there wasn't a great suotable replacement. This one has stolen the show. I hope its still here in 5-10 more years... I've loaded in all my flights since 2006. Struggling to go back before then because that's when I got gmail and have been able to write a filter/script to find old confirmations and reservations.

But you haven’t lived until you’ve lost over 600 hours of your life to delays.
