I can indeed complete a manual Loadsheet. However, I don't work for BA!
I suspect the major issues were waiting for a Manual Check-in for so many flights simultaneously. It takes a long time to complete and pass the information to Load Comtrol or indeed the flight crew. Therefore flights get delayed or cancelled.
These days, the industry relies heavily on many IT systems to work effectively. Especially as staff levels are cut to the minimum to keep costs down.
