I shouldn't have to come to work and talk to MX, CS and dispatch because the logbooks are a mess, I don't have a hotel reservation and I'm carrying entirely too much fuel with alternates I don't need. But I do, we all do. Sad really. All this, and the company wants to spend less money for second rate charts. We should NEVER be placed in a position to have to 'land...pick up the phone, notify dispatch, your chief pilot, and fill out an ASAP.' The product we have has been proven to work. Lidos have not.
The fact that you still make mommy references tells me you must have not gotten enough attention from yours. Grow up.
Is that why Compass uses them as their only product and Fedex did until they got tired of carrying all that paper? NAS charts are even cheaper. Does that make them cut-rate? Who cares if the company is using cheaper plates that are FAA-certified? Delta chose the Surface Tab over the ipad for their charts because they got a better deal. Does that make it concessionary? Stop your whining and do your job. Jesus. If you don't like it, PSA and Mesa are both hiring. Go there.
