This plane has the simplest paper loading technique I’ve used. Best of 3. Why do people act like it’s so freaking difficult?

Oh, it looks like I’ve made the first post in this forum.

Why you gotta call out me and my fat fingers?

It is! Hand the roll of paper to the FO and….

(In all seriousness, I do find it easier to load from the left vs the right. Something about the angle…)

usually it’s the FO futzing with it for 45 seconds and then looking over with a look of exasperation on their face, whereafter I have to gently bail them out and try to inflate their ego by reassuring them that it’s difficult (it’s not).

To be fair, the toughest part is tearing the tape off without making a mess of the paper.

From the left seat, piece of cake. From the right seat, it was an embarrassing Gordian Knot of confusion.

Maintenance item over here. If the pink edge printing lies and we run out in flight... meh... not a lot of stuff you've got to actually print out. Or the FO gets stuck changing it.

Start the beginning of making a paper airplane by folding the top into a triangle. You’re welcome.

Works good, lasts long time. Effective on the Guppy too. Make a triangle, push it through

IT LITERALLY HAS ARROWS INDICATING WHICH SIDE OF THE LITTLE FLAT BAR THE PAPER IS SUPPOSED TO GO

Best thing about the A350? People don't print stuff so it stays super clean!

717 is easier

I promise to at least smash my fingers once before seeking emotional support

I learned last trip not to bother with trying to tear it to get a straight edge beforehand. Just fold it over flat with a sharp folded edge and it will load fine. Or make a triangle edge.

After I told the CA, "Sure, I can load it. I've done it several times" and then failed for the next couple minutes while he stared and laughed.
