"Although it has taken an inexcusably long time to outfit all of our airplanes with EFBs, the whole reason for choosing LIDO in the first place was their far, far superior EFB product."
Correction, only half the Airbus fleet. 5 plus years to (not) finish the job.

I was under the impression that our EFB's would have Jepps Flight Deck Pro software - not just the Jepp Viewer (.pdf pages)
there's a link to the user's guide for the Flight Deck Pro on the p.f.com Flight Planning Center home page under
01/04/13 Jeppesen Training Resources
like this:
Mobile FliteDeck and FliteDeck Pro | EFB Charts & Apps | Jeppesen
better or worse than the EFB version of LIDO is yet to be determined?

Having terrain and accurate scaling on the arrival, approach, and departure plates is just one advantage of LIDO -- terrain awareness at a glance is a huge situational awareness advantage. Distance/Altitude tables for "constant descent" on approach make the "no electronic or visual glidepath aids" approaches much simpler. Communication information on the enroute charts where it's needed simplifies enroute.
I'm trying to think of one area where Jeppesen does it better.

The first LMS lesson was listed as taking 35 minutes to complete. This second one, obviously created because they realized that the first one was not sufficient to train crews to be able to operate the new software is listed as a 15 minute LMS lesson. Per the CBA these types of no pay lessons are limited to 45 minutes. If done properly the first time, the lesson would have been 50 minutes long and warranted a paid event.
