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.
In the real world, companies don't make you pay to protect expensive company property. It only happens when regional pilots like you have no backbone.
The company has been supplying nice Jepp binders where you can tear and spill on those pages and not have to worry about a thing. If you have to replace them, you have the option of this thing called the internet and a crew room printer. Of course free replacement and $700 is the same thing for a first year FO.
