Just trying to adjust to the new workflow w/o the load manifest and all the parts of the toilet paper roll that we don't use any more.
By the end of the trip, we seemed to agree that the pFDP seemed easier to use and more intuitive than ACARS. Now if it would only get a signal in the air!
I just wish they had mounted the stupid printer over on the right side of the pedestal near the Cargo Firex panel instead of on my tray-table!
They should have installed a cup cooler/heater where the printer is

I have not had the pleasure to fly with ACARS yet but I like the pFDP.
