Judging from past history ...

I wonder what our negotiating committee gave up in exchange for this professional enhancement (think ... ASAP, FOQA, etc.)

At any rate, I too am glad to be going back to Jepps ... it's a better product!

The dude that reloads the drink coolers in HOU says we're getting iPads real soon ("don't buy one for Christmas"). Do you think they'll be pre-loaded with Jepps??

That is great news. NOTAM management sounds like a good deal too. Sweet.

A few months ago I operated a trip that included an air show weekend layover. We were given Jepps charts for the airport and I realized how much I missed them, even if they were paper. Looking forward to viewing the EFB version.

FCIF said done by June 13', moving map, tablet. Really! In 7 years they've almost completed half the EFB installations on the bus. They should be embarrassed of their own incompetence.
