In this day and age of transitioning to EFB's, I can't imagine a major airline making a big deal of this, but I have no first hand experience.
Thanks
Part of the exercise is to find out if you're the kind of guy who tells the truth or stretches it. Turning an Ipad on and saying "See?" doesn't allow for that.
Not knowing that that is a big part of the exercise simply wouldn't be believable to a hiring board. Don't do that.
If, instead, you're asking whether or not they'll accept a computer file instead of a printout, the answer is that you should be immediately prepared to provide either one. The main job of an applicant is to make it easy for someone to hire you.
