Sorry to keep hounding you with questions, this is the final one:
ACARS. I don't understand how:
1) you can get an entire loadsheet printed out on the A320, when the only options given in the ACARS section of the FMGS are for flight reports, weather reports or take off data.
2) I have heard that some Ops directors are slapping the wrists of some pilots for sending rude messages over ACARS on the A320/30. How?? How can you use ACARS to send pilot-edited messages? Is it possible??
3) Why would getting an ACARS loadsheet be so beneficial? Why are so many airlines raving about it, when the load controller just has to pop up with the printed loadsheet?
