Fly-By-Wire
===========

Also listed as: The Fly-By-Wire BBS

The Fly-By-Wire BBS used PCBoard software and was a private user
BBS for American Airlines Pilots who were members of the pilots
labor union, The Allied Pilots Association (APA). There were 6
other BBS's around the country located at pilot bases using
Fidonet compatible message forum software. It started out at 1200
baud and eventually up to 14,400 as the speeds increased over
time. Each night the 7 BBS's would connect with each other
transferring all the messages posted during the day. A file
directory was also created on each BBS to allow users to download
monthly work schedules created by American Airlines and sent to
each sysop. In 1996 the sysops moved to America Online (AOL). AOL
created a private area on their servers for the Allied Pilots
Association. Sometime after 2000 the APA moved to the WWW. Don
Grillo, sysop
