Hello,
yeah, EDS is the great big brother from Zurich - we use their loadcontrol Atraxis and their intranet-service (very unstable, like EDS).
The big difference between D-Plan and Atraxis is that DPLAN is a stand alone weight and balance program where you put in all the figures you need for a loadsheet. Atraxis is a typical DCS system (check-in figures go right into the loadsheet system, so you have an in-time update).
I started loadcontroling when a hand made sheet was standard, up to now I have learned so many different systems is is horrible to keep the overview on all. That is the thing when you work for a handling agent. Every airline wants you to use their own thingy.
What do we do? Accept it. But it really keeps one busy with the keystrokes you have to remember in any of those systems and not to mix them up.
My collection of quick references fill a library. It's a mess. Working parallel for AZ (Arco), IB (Reciber), KL (Codeco), OA (Hermes), LX (Atraxis), DL (Deltamatic/Alis), NW (now gone), AY (ACE/Fido, now moving to Altea), BA (Babs/RTB), AF (Gaetan), and coming soon, Flybe's Shares
