MX wanted to do a deferral that didn't exist in the onboard MEL. Duty Pilot said according to the General Information Manual, shipboard manuals can be up to 2 revisions behind :0 Good grief! He authorized me to fly with a faxed copy of he new MEL revision pages applicable to the deferral. Just buy the danged iPads, already!!
While I'm the last person to ever defend this company, the iPad authorization has been sitting on the FAA's desk for over a year now. We are waiting for their approval. That being said, maybe if the FAA's resources weren't strained by handing all of our OTHER issues, it might get some attention.
