Well, one thing is for sure, manual load sheets are a lot more fun than using that particular provider's W&B solution.

I do, happy to offer my services as a consultant at, let me see, $250 AUD per load sheet.......

SABRE is the most pathetic system available, only a committee of morons would choose it over just about any other alternative.

However, the only effect on load sheets at VA would be the supply of information from SABRE as VA use Amadeus Altea FM for Load Control functions (QF use it too but they also use the Altea CM module so passenger and loading are carried out in one unified system).

Rex use SABRE but not sure what they do for Load Control, they may be manual anyway.

I believe Rex also have an iPad based load control system separate from Sabre.

Gone are the days of manual trims

Wouldn't surprise me, JQ were already using (back in 2004) a 'PDA' based solution, although Manual Trim/LS did still exist (based on old Impulse processes) - the A330 introduced a tablet based system, can't remember the name but it was an Airbus product.
