Budget. A month and a half ago he would have said they were around the corner. Now he isn't so sure.
He mentioned that lower fuel costs have made the $ value of removing the weight of the kit bags less.
I think they're coming just at a slower pace than the last memo/flight ops update re: efb's seemed to indicate.

I can't fathom how the $ value due to added fuel weight of 2 flight cases can be that significant. I'm sure we are paying way more to have all those paper jepps printed and then shipped. It's pathetic that we're one of the last groups still dragging those around with us everywhere we go.

It probably also hurts pilot recruiting when a pilot is trying to decide between airlines.
