Because LIDOs suck. They aren't organized very well on the plates and sometimes they have wrong or missing information.

I've yet to talk to a Pinnacle guy that likes them. The main complaint is needing to reference multiple pages to get the info Jepp puts on one. They sure do have pretty colors though.

LIDO looks like someone sneezed color and text boxes on a chart.

Even if we go with iPads, there are other hardware and software vendors we have to sign contracts with to support the iPad installation.

They told us in the Oct 8th that we won't know our base until the second week of November. I'm guessing it will be the same way for you.

If they have service to ATL or IAD then I'm sure it's possible to commute from those airports. Is the commute easy or hard? I have no idea.

Its really all speculation right now untill the DFW base gets sorted out and the new bid gets done. And the 700 & 900 could be fair game too but keep in mind they are only in ATL and DTW.

Commuting to ILM wouldn't be bad from ATL.
