Isn't CATCREW still an East only system or has the West adopted it also. Reason I ask is that if it's an East only system, nobody on the West side should have access, never mind universal access, to it.
I do know that in the past, before I retired, nobody outside RIDC had universal access. One bid closing committee individual had it for a while, from home no less, but the security features required that CATCREW (or the computer it ran on actually) initiate the contact with his home computer which acted as a terminal. It also required having a special sign-in giving access only to the permanent bid page of CATCREW that was made invalid when he left the committee. Even the MEC members/officers couldn't access CATCREW except as any individual pilot could, and individual pilots can't access all their data that's in CATCREW.
