More often lately I'll be at a stop, the diad does it's thing where it thinks I'm at the wrong location. Obviously I am not as I'm a trained professional. Where's an I.T. guy when you need one?
GPS and the diad

- Start date
It would do that a while back. I was told that the center was observing me.

GPS is damn accurate. The problem is the GPS receiver in the DIAD. When I fly GPS approaches I turn on something called WAAS and it's accurate to about a meter.

Observing you is nothing more than looking at your previous stop counts. We don't have a "live stream" option.

nowhere special
Yeah, sometimes the DIAD loses the satellite signal and gets all stupid. What matters is the GPS data from DIAD is not always accurate.

They may also be monitoring you via ODS-E.

We don't need to initiate anything to get that info. It automatically updates every few minutes.

We know when you guys are watching us.

It's not the CIA. I wouldn't expect you not to know.
But you're so good Dave, why would they need to watch you?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
I've also heard virtual ojs cause the gps to screw up.
So they can learn something?

I haven't heard anything like that. But I doubt they'd share that. Virtual OJSes are pretty informal, at least the way we do it.
They always give me one,every time I have an 8 hour day.

The majority we do are when guys were wildly over plan the previous day and guys covering a route for the first time.
They do it just to make sure that I'm not dragging my feet.
Just shut up. Nobody was talking to you.
