LOADSHEETS:
why does the company have to spend thousands of $ in printing those loadsheets when the crews are fully trained not only to check, fill and sign but also to draw them!
Have the crews take a few A4 papers from home and make them fill in those loadsheets with their own pens in 2 copies.
The first 2 copies will be prepared by the F/O up to the payload at home after he's found out the APS weight for his aircraft by calling ops with his own phone, the following copies can be comfortably done in the cruise during flights.
If the IAA has anything to object then the airline could do a one day training on "fast loadsheet preparation" in order to bring the crews up to speed with their drawing techniques , of course at the pilots' expense.
Would be better if some other airlines like BA implemented some of the above ideas?
then they might stop posting loses of millions and millions!!!!!!!!!
Then at least this time next year their pilots will have a job!
IRISHPILOT1990,
why would you care about BA and other loss making airlines?????
Our shareholders and cost cutting are the only things we should be concerned about!!
When other airlines go bust and fellow pilots lose thir jobs we should celebrate!!!We wish every competitor bad luck by painting our aircraft with explicit sentences afterall...
Talking about painting aircraft....BRK pilots should be called in with their own paint to do that job during their mandatory month off.
They are self employed professionals afterall!
