I hope that's true and I'm sure they've been told that. HOWEVER... I've also heard from guys in standards that:
1. we're all getting laptops implemented March 2006 (last march)
2. that the Boeing will be converted to a two engine valsan with an inflight APU in the #2 hole (which I guess is kinda true with the 757
)
3. Jepp made an offer to the company and we're going back to Jepp EFB and paper products provided in the plane like the LIDO bags.
I'm sure they've been told something but I don't think anyone really knows. Kinda like when the 757 will come online. I've heard everything (from standards guys) from the big bid in January will have 757 slots and we've already lined up sims, to it won't be on property for at least a couple years maybe longer.
When it's painted purple and on the ramp I'll believe it.
