But I am fine with APL giving a penalty for using pause. Pause can be used as a way of cheating in a high workload situation. So it should be penalized. And it is not that APL prohibits using pause, there is only a 2% penalty. It doesn't really make a significant difference for your career in APL even if you get that penalty on every flight. That works for you perhaps but for starters I never use Pause as a way of cheating in a high workload situation. In fact, w/ your stated example of why pause should be penalized these are the two periods with by far the biggest workloads: TO to 10K feet and 10K feet to landing, and yet no problem can pause there. So that argument is bogus from the get go. And this is more important: I could care less about the "career" piece, even though it would appear to be APL's raison d'être. I use it for one reason only: to aim for a perfect score on each flight I start. I could simply just wait until I know I'll hopefully be uninterrupted but that means I'll do far fewer flights in a week, and I like doing flights whenever I can squeeze them in. My point is make this optional for those like myself who care. Under Settings, simply add a checkbox/slider to enable/disable the Pause penalty. If you're fanatical about it, be my guest. Tell me, if the checkbox to disable the penalty was there, would you use it?

So there is no penalty when pausing below 10000 ft? I didn't know that. I agree that wouldn't make any sense. It should be the other way round. 5 hours ago, Noel said: I could care less about the "career" piece, even though it would appear to be APL's raison d'être. I use it for one reason only: to aim for a perfect score on each flight I start. Though I personally probably would keep it as is, of course I would be fine with an option to deactivate the pause penalty. But why bother? Just consider 98% your perfect score and enjoy.
August 15, 20232 yr Fair enough Ralf, I just need to change my attitude...at least until they put the checkbox in!
