Why would that be such a big deal? Simply do the iPad with full company manual/pubs and Jepps without 10-9 GPS, just like we do now with paper. Then in a few years when the absolute perfect solution comes along, switch to that. I don't get the logic behind we can't have a massive 95% improvement without the 5% we still want so we won't take any of it.
