I guess I'm not as stupid as LAG thinks - I did not find it as difficult as everyone is claiming! Maybe I will bid the 76.

Which would lead me to suspect that it is the same core group messing it up either way!

Yeah, it pays the same, but now you're under the gun to block out on time, and don't compromise safety. Oh, and when you get airborne, I hope you can figure out how to make those enroute charts useful.


I got to use the Jepp EFB last week in the airplane for the first time.

In a word -- Unsatisfactory.

My first ASAP report.

Have you tried doing the performance from the left seat without the keyboard? Great fun, just wait until the cord gets damaged trying to pull it out of the F/O side and you are stuck with the keypad on the unit!

Unsatisfactory does not begin to describe the situation.

So the lido charts weren't available in the back? You couldn't block out with the lido charts and then "play with jepps enroute? What happened when lido efb was inop? While I agree that the training wasn't stellar, and could have been applied better, cowboy up.

Remember when we had paper jepps. Lido paper came out. Everyone hated them, hard to read, different format, "dangerous" labeled by many.

Lido EFB - hard to see, cable is always in the way, not user friendly. Trained but then didn't see them for a year. Forgot all of the training!

We made it through all of those problems, pretty sure we will somehow make it through this.

Guess I prefer to just not b1+cH about everything.......

You mean the Managers or other Cubicle Combat Commandos?
Sorry, couldn't resist.
