After months of coordination with American, we’re pleased to announce that all Envoy pilots will soon enjoy a fully-sponsored company Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) program. “Beginning next year, American will purchase new iPads for all mainline and regional pilots, along with a 750MB domestic data plan,” said Captain Ric Wilson, Vice President Flight Operations. “The goal is to complete the iPad refresh during 2016 and have all pilots, including Envoy, participate in the same EFB program.”
Moving to an electronic flight bag will enable Envoy to fully transition to electronic documents, including manuals, full color weather charts and mobile Crew Check-in. “The announcement of this investment in EFBs is not only a clear sign of AAG’s desire to see Envoy succeed, but it also represents a tangible quality of life improvement for our pilots,” said Sam Pool, MEC Chairman, Air Line Pilots Association.
