But, if the Jepp is the only EFB you've seen, it's great. Ignorance is bliss.

I "think" the JetBlue guys (and gals) have Lido on thier laptop computers?

I praise you for posting facts. Few choose to do so.
But I believe management would go for the cheaper option, in the long run, if they could. Sure, Jepp is offering a discount now. But what are they going to do to the rates when the disounted contract expires??
Sorrry, no facts in my post. Only conjecture. I wish I knew the details of the competing deals.
Any EFB is better than not.
For those asking, LIDO is a competing product to Jepp. It's different.

CHEAPER OPTION!!??? Exactly...NOT better. Lido is only able to win customers by BUYING their business!! You tell me how long it will be before they jack up the price to FDX because right now they are selling it at a loss (to everyone). As I understand at the on-set Jepp offered a better deal and price (without a ridiculous discount ) (or a Rolex ).
As for JetBlue.........keep watching...they are not happy so my friend who flys for them tells me.
