What the demo shows

Agents assemble and check each release, ETOPS included, so dispatcher and captain sign it

A rack of flight strips shows every departure in the next three hours and its release state in plain words. Opening one long-haul ETOPS flight unrolls the strip into its release, built line by line with a source on every number. A release agent assembles it from the flight plan, a weather and NOTAM agent keeps the few NOTAMs that matter, a MEL agent turns each deferral's relief into rules, an ETOPS agent checks every alternate from its earliest to its latest landing and the three critical-fuel cases, and a checker agent rebuilds the whole release on its own. When something fails, the dispatcher gets one question with a proposed answer: wing ice protection is deferred and Keflavik forecasts icing, so use Shannon and add 1,900 lb. The dispatcher challenges the fuel, the agent shows the cases, and the dispatcher accepts with a reason code and signs; the captain reads what changed on the EFB and co-signs. A change agent watches signed releases and drafts the re-release; a records agent files every version with its sources.
