Congratulations needs to go out to Luke for all his hard work in the total remake of the website with all the addons and additions. For the past two years that I have been here I have seen a couple of small improvements along the way but nothing this extensive. So Luke thanks again buddy for all your hard work here on the website, along with making the ACARS the best client for tracking progress. VERY WELL DONE!!!!!

The funny thing is that most of the new options aren't new - they've just been made more prominent.

cheers!

I guess what I was getting at is sometimes we all get so wrapped up in our on projects that we sometimes forget people like you Luke for all the different task you perform on a daily basis. Not only do you take care of the servers but also tasked with keeping the flight charts updated keeping the ACARS software updated and functioning Plus keeping all the behind the scenes daily operational activities working. Well all that said thanks for everything you do
