Someone posted a rumor on here that UPS might not be getting the electronic flight bags on our converted 747-400's. I couldn't find that thread so I am posting this here. I had the chance to talk with the guy in charge of technology for us and he confirmed this....sort of. Boeing wanted a huge amount of money ($300,000?) to certify the EFB in the converted freighters. We decided to pass but we will indeed be installing the EFB's on the plane. We will certify them ourselves instead. UPS....reinventing the wheel once again. What the hell, it worked out pretty well with the MD-11 sims
