I would mainly use it when the gate agent comes to me and says "we have 32 passengers, 35 checked bags and 15 carryons. Can we put a standby passenger and his bags on the plane?" This happens all the time in Dulles. Ofcourse you can do it on pen and paper. The calculator is just faster and easier. I know that it would be easy to write a spreadsheat program to do this, however a palm is alot lighter than my laptop.

If you do have a palm (or similar device...), just download documents to go (google it), then make your spreadsheet in Excel and sync it to your handheld device. Very easy to do, help our gate agents look good (and they will make your job easier), and quicker than anything else available. One of the few things that is ALL GOOD!

I could do one in Flash if some wants to create an Excel spreadsheet with the math (remember - garbage in garbage out).
I dunno if those handheld devices "do" Flash (.swf) but it would be an interesting project. The advantage of Flash is that it would be a visual interface to spit out calculated data. (See the Pay Calculator on any of the airline profiles for an example).
