It just gets worse and worse, even when you think it can't. They must spend all day brainstorming this stuff.
Ha! If we ever made our own, my personal minimums will go to 10,000/30.

They could make you buy your own charts.

I also don't think the feds would EVER approve this place to print its own charts. Do NOS charts load well on an Ipad?

I think someone just needs to remind MG all the extra gas he's burning by carrying all the volumes of paper up front...

Foreflight is what they want. Problem is it's missing a lot of info that I've only seen on Jepps. RNAV visuals to name one.

Well the Feds seem to let this place do everything else they want. If its like our training manuals, allegiant will just photo copy the NOS charts and put "allegiant" on top. They might even find some space to throw some Blue Man Group adds on the plates for some extra revenue.

Isn't Foreflight for the GA guys? Are there any other 121 operators that use that program?

We're a "travel company" not "just another f'ing airline."

Word from the checking, I mean training, department is that Jepp is doing away with paper plates and going all digital. We're getting NOS to fill the 7 year gap until we get iPads.

I couldn't be happier that the union put out that email with a link to that ridiculous letter. These newhires need to know the sordid past of those who are fighting us.
