Couldn't they have invested in something a little more useful like an electronic flight bag? EFB's would eliminate 80 lbs of weight (saving fuel), reduce back injuries (reducing workmen's comp) and prevent runway incursions quietly by overlaying the aircraft's position on the jepp 10-9 page displayed on an MFD.

This technology would not have helped during the July 2nd incident at SEA. I'm just glad they used idle reverse and rolled all the way down to F. If they took H,J it could have been bad.
