But, I guess, that would require the company to work out a deal with gogo to allow Jepp app traffic to be free.
I know...
After listening to an earnings call sometime last year apparently AA got ****ed off at GoGo for charging mainline pilots extra for having their own login/portal to access in flight weather/internet and they were in the process of extending that same access to the WO’s. Clearly a deal wasn’t worked out and that’s why they went Viasat and Panasonic while freezing the access for us. That’s how we got to the cluster of in-flight WiFi that we have learned to love today..
However, being that Jeppesen has better sourcing from WSI and does delta data downloads (smaller download sizes) I wouldn’t rule out that possibility in the future imho!
