I like LIDO; I have been using it exclusively since the spring. My Jepp bag is just ballast stuffed with envelopes of updates to stay legal. I only open it to put the update envelope in it.

The only guys pushing back on this are the guys nearing retirement who still input their bid via phone and/or only have dial-up at home IF, and that's a big IF, they even have a computer at home. And no, I'm not counting some of the TRS 80's they probably still use either.

Jumpseated with a Boeing crew today and el Capitano was still using Jepps. WTFO? I wished I wasn't a jumpseater.... I would have asked him if that was his security blanket.

I've got a trip on 13 Oct and I'm taking my Jepps in a F'ING GROCERY BAG and dumping them when I get to destination.

BTW, the Jepp contract for paper products is about $630,000.00 PER MONTH! Not per year, per month!
