Just curious if CAL uses ship sets in the cockpit versus carrying book bags.
I think all of our fleets at UAL switched over during the past year. Nice not doing revisions!

Yea, we need those NDB approaches to airports we don't go to. Having Jepps is bad, but having too many to fit in the binders and bag is taking it too far.

So when CAL pilots finally go to PBS could you please not learn the system while on arrival into Newark? Thank you in advance.

We've had PBS for years...

No one still knows how to use it, though. It's a very large PITA.
