OK, I guess I'll be the ***** in church on this one.
Calm down people, if you are seriously unable to read a 5x7 piece of paper and deduce the relevant information then you shouldn't be allowed to dress yourself much less fly an airliner. Jepp, NACO, or this new one, suck it up and do your job.
Yes, Jepp charts are my preferred format, but the app sucks. It's not user friendly, and in my case it sucked my battery life like a college sophomore on spring break. Foreflite is much better product.
Yes, this is yet another example of Mesa just being flat out cheap to save a few bucks that will never filter to anyone's paycheck (besides JO). However considering the kings ransom that Jeppessen is charging somebody needs to explore an alternative.
Mesa has it's problems, but the Chicken Little routine that some of our pilots do is seriously counter productive. Save your drama for the real fights that NEED to be fought.
