Where we differ is what that means. To me, voluntarily spending $20 to protect the ipad from accidental damage and consequently myself is reasonable. I see that as very much in line with what we have all done in the past with chart cases to transport and protect our jepps. It is my choice, mostly driven by the fact that I drop my phone about 5 times a day, and I don't think the Ipad will survive that. You, on the other hand see that choice as me being a "RJ pilot with no backbone" and pretty much destroying the entire industry, all over a $20 ipad case. We will just have to agree to disagree on this one.
