You're right, good info, but if you watch it every day it will wear on you.

You do know that in one of the revisions you only need to carry half of them.

Interesting, which half? Currently at NWA, we only have to carry where we're going. For example, the domestic (including mexico, canada and alaska) if domestic. There is a europe book, but you only have to carry it if going to europe. When you go to asia, you can leave the domestic books home and take over an empty binder for the asia brick that you pickup when you get there.
When we start flying over to asia from a west coast gateway, I wonder how much we'll have to carry..........the asia brick is thick.
Are they even looking at EFBs while times are bad?

If you are not going to Europe, you do not have to carry the Euro jepps. For domestic, Capt has to carry A-M and any airports you are going to in N-Z. FO's are opposite.
Right now all Asian and South American jepps are in the "domestic" jepps. This will probably change after SOC. (My guess)

yet another culture thing I guess. Everyone has their own charts out vs share. Where do you guys put it the plate where both guys can see it?But, sure is a good way to cut down on how much we have to carry. A ships copy would be good as long as they were kept up (not torn etc). An EFB would be the dream.

They are looking at an EFB still but supposedly an updated version that has more capability such as GPS taxi assistance etc.
Yep... In the most recent magazine there was a pretty extensive article about EFBs. They want them, but not the current generation (sounds oddly familiar to something else we're "looking in to)... they are waiting for a next generation that will be more fully integrated.
