Thanks for all the info, Nate. Very, very helpful. And kinda depressing too. :P

We're upgrading to a new building with STARS in a couple months and I just went through all the CBIs for it. I cannot understand why there's no function in there to make rudimentary changes, like even just an altitude.

So much time gets wasted trying to flag down the data person and convey what needs to be done. It's a real distraction. I'd much rather just be able to type in "AM [CID] 8 [NEW ALT]" or "AM [CID] 6 [FIX] 7 EXX00 10 [FIX]..[FIX2]..[DEST]".
