What happened to manual loadsheets? I used to do them on my laptop (that's the bit between my knees and hips) with a pen and a £2.99 calculator with final passenger and bag numbers passed over the radio.
I bet no-one on duty can even do one now. Operations has become scary when I hear that loadsheets are completed in Thailand for flights departing LGW. When the pieces of paper cease to mean anything the numbers also become just figures on an iPad. I'm sure the flight crew do understand them, but who knows what has actually been loaded (or left in the hold from the inbound and not on any loadsheet).
