If we check for updates before we start a trip, we should have everything we need for the duration of the trip - just like now as we're not obligated to get updates that are placed in our v-files after we're flying. (If the app works as intended, it should use the current data when the effective date rolls over. What happened a few days ago when we got the pretty red box should not have happened. The Jepp app handles chart changes just fine...)

Also, why can't the company set up wifi in the crew rooms on the intranet that will allow us to update during what seems to be more and more 3-hour airport appreciation periods. We don't have to rely on home or hotel wifi and those who feel compelled to update while "on the clock" can do so. With their current firewall rules, they don't have to worry about us streaming porn over the company network during those sits

I know. That makes too much sense. I'll slither back under my rock now.
