Do you long time FD users still carry any kind of paper charts or is this yet another snafu on our end? I thought FD came with enroutes and 10-1s.
We've had FD Pro since the get-go at LUS. However, they did start issuing us paper charts about a year later. A lot of the ball notes, frequencies, etc on FIR boundaries in the Caribbean are hard to decipher on the electronic version, so most guys like having access to the paper. For me, the mostly stay in the envelope in my bag and don't get touched.
