980EV is a piece of garbage....we can't even use the acars....its going to be on permanent MEL until they figure out how to operate it. The MOC doesn't even have guidance anywhere on how to operate that version of software. I flew it yesterday and was not impressed....constant issues fueling the aircraft also.

Yeah, I have the memo on ACARS and other differences for XJT birds, and the memo was totally useless to operate the ACARS. I am going to go look through other memos to see if there is something I missed, but I really try to keep up with company info. The ACARS is WAY different than what you are used to.

I had no issues with ACARS in 686BR or 980EV, there were a few minor differences but once you figured it out it was not an issue at all.

Someone must have put it into a different mode and I have no idea how to get it back. It was like a brand new version of something I had never seen before. There was literally no place to put weight and balance...it seemed like it was in a mode where the w&b was sent to us and we just put in a runway to use.

You have to put it in manual mode to enter the W&B info. As per the memo.

PS before anyone gets ticked, I'm not really complaining, because I think this will all get ironed out. Just be prepared if you fly an ex XJT bird.
