Not surprising though. This from a company that won't send you on a more direct or non-stop airline flight (less fatiguing as well), all to save 150 bucks...

NO,
The company does NOT provide I-pads! Nor would you want one that the IT department has touched. You are not required to have one. They are installed on each plane to the outboard of each pilots station. Yes, we are completely EFB for normal ops, but still do carry paper maps on board if you want to do things the old fashioned way. We still have a paper flight plan that the captain must sign, but the route is on the Jeppview map on theEFB.

its funny the post from the owner of Fr8dog "I would like to ask to all of you who have left for greener pastures to NOT post negative thinks here and keep your negative opinions to yourselves!" Ok, that sounds exactly what the company wants. LL who's side are you on again?
