I don't know anyone at Horizon so I can neither confirm nor deny, but if it's true than I am wrong. However, you've come up with one regional airline, and I came up with another that allows them but doesn't provide them. No others that I am aware of even allow them. So I guess we are both wrong to a point.

Look at it this way: You have an iPad already. The company allows its use but you must provide an approved mount and battery. Said equipment will run you around $150. May I ask you what the average price is that people spend on a kitbag? That was my choice, new kitbag, or equipment that allows me to use my iPad and no longer have to deal with filing revisions or worry about being current. Same cost, one has distinct advantages over the other. It's a no brainer. I wouldn't be proving anything to the company or anyone else by continuing to use paper.
