Current and Future MDCRs Issues Rick Curtis Southwest Airlines
Data Optimization • Is there still a need for this? If so, what is the priority? • How does data optimization tie in with future compensation structures? • What are the needs of the NWS for data optimization? • How do we develop a system that allows for open participation? • How would the data optimization be performed? • Who would “activate” flights? • What issues would exist within airlines concerning activating individual flights? • What is done elsewhere – if anything? • What are the next steps that need to be taken?
Data Access Restrictions • Who owns the data once it is distributed to NOAA/NWS via ARINC? • Who has rights to access the data from the website? • What is the data latency from the web-site? • How is the data used by NOAA/NWS (WFO level, NCEP etc? • How vital is the data to NOAA/NWS at this time? Is this reliance increasing? • What are the airline concerns regarding data access? • How does de-identification of the information affect these concerns? • Where do we want to go in terms of data access rights?
Future Compensation • Does the current compensation process “work” for both the government and the airlines. • How difficult is MDCRs participation to justify at individual airlines? • Do we need to work towards a new compensation structure? • Are new compensation means linked to data optimization? • Any next steps?
MDCRS Communication/Process • Where do we go from here? • How should we best communicate? • How often should we meet? • Do we need any type of agreements or published goals? • Are they any new players? • How do we prioritize? • Who wants to participate? • Next meeting or telcon?
