I've never done W&B for a 737 (only 747s and other multi-cabin beasties) so I have a query:
On a 747 for example there are multiple cabins (OA, OB, OC, OD, OE, UD) and multiple lower deck positions that all have different arms and moments that affect the CG. But on a 737 that has only one cabin, how is the CG calculation accomplished? Is the cabin split into some seperate "mini cabins"?
I'm not familiar with any of the W&B functions of Carina (only the DCS parts) but I know that my airline's system is 100% plugged into the DCS and all seat changes etc. are updated on-the-fly allowing an instant CG calculation. I assume Carina and most other major systems work the same. Is W&B for NZ done is Carina? I just assumed Carina was a reservations and DCS system. For us, evey system is seperate but linked. A bit of a pain sometimes! Always have to have the manual handy... how do you delete a filed ATC plan again?
