I bet you would have no problem taking a $20,000 FMS and insuring it yourself if the company found a way to make it portable.
Take it easy junior. I do get it. From a point of principal, I think there should be an LOA, company provided covers etc. From a real world we all live in stand point, shelling out $20 for a cheap case to prevent a $600 liability sounds a lot better than going without. Sure it isn't the moral high ground but not really different than what you have been doing for years. Did you carry your jepps in a good chart bag that you paid for? Did you demand that the company pay for your chart case? Why not, you were carrying around their Jepp charts. I bet your chart case cost way more than a $20 ipad cover.
