all this fuss over a piece of paper......honestly! I think there may be more important things in life to worry about, such as the war in Afganistan or the world's financial troubles. If i got this wound up every time a dispatcher takes longer than usual to locate that loadsheet i need i would have landed in the loony bin years ago!

Am I correct in believing that a US carrier tried 'e' boarding using barcodes on mobile phone text messages rather than printed boarding cards? How would that work at the aircraft door? "Good morning sir, may i see your nokia/blackberry/sony erric-crap phone for your text message from our beloved company to read that there barcode with my robotic eye? please ensure that you do not show me the dirty text from your mistress, or i may feel inclined to call your wife!"........."thankyou sir, W910i?"
