Sounds just like the jorno Kelly Mills who was conned big time by the Jetstar load sheet PDAs. A rambling, half page spread in last Tuesday's (10May) IT Australian about how they lighten the pilots workload! Compared to sitting there, looking out the window and being presented with a piece of paper, the pilots now have to spend a few minutes creating their own lodsheet on a PDA! Not to mention all the hassle of picking the thing up (and the printer), making sure the software's up to date, keeping it full of paper.
The poor girl didn't realise they simply are a way of saving money by transferring work from the load control centre onto pilots (for no extra pay?).
Go the journos...
