NavBlu is Airbus, Jepp is Boeing... The charts don't look bad, but I bet it has more to do with Airbus offering a deal they couldn't say no to, to get more market share in the USA. And yes, every change at Mesa is to save money. You know that is the case going in.

During my brief stint with NB, I actually grew accustomed to the terminal charts. Didn’t mind them, and found a feature here and there that was preferable to other versions.
The enroute charts, on the other hand suuuuuuuuckkked. There is just something unnatural and SA draining about not being able to plot and see your route of flight.

I just watch others with power in the flight deck using their geo referenced Jepp charts with an increased situational awareness.
