Are you folks still using the laptops or have you guys transitioned to a ACARS weight and balance tool ?

Still using laptops. I like being able to do it myself. Periodically we taxi around other airlines who are "waiting on the numbers".

Airbus does our W/B. We don't have to start paying for that until 2020.

Couldn't do it on the E90 anyhow... MEL list often too long, we'd either never recieve it or it would run out of paper before the preflight was over.
