If it mimics the AA iPad EFB program, it contains Jeppesens and all company manuals which are obviously updated electronically. AA provided iPads and a big hyperjuice spare battery to each pilot. Still have to have a paper QRH. Charts and 10-1 pages remain paper, but I was told, that'll be fixed in a few months.
Trimming the kit bag down to a couple of pounds, and not having to do revisions ever again, = glorious. Even pink bulletins are electronically updated.
