My guess is no, hence why the Comply365 thing is coming about with its automatic updating of manuals every time you log into the app. Now yes our 170's do have ship sets, but that is only 6 airframes. I doubt they want to start keeping 26 airframes current. Look for the company to purchase everyone iPads and they will all come with whatever chart vendor they choose and Comply365 which will be the one stop shop for current manuals, memos, and company communications.
Makes sense, I guess I was thinking they would just say you have the option of paper or electronic.
