Seriously, how often do they need to print a new checklist; once a year? Yeah, let's go heads down into an often glitchy efb where you have to punch in a code to open it up, swipe to the right location, swipe to the right page on the checklist. By this time I would already have the paper checklist completed. Then have to get back to the page with... approach plate, taxi diagram, etc. Whoever thought this was a great idea obviously doesn't fly anymore.
Hardly any of management flies. 2 at Director level very occasionally fly. Many in management don't or can't get medicals.
So ya, we are told how to fly planes by people that don't fly planes?
