It's nothing more than a tall tale right now. Last summer they did announce they were going to stop printing bulk order subscriptions. Custom ones like we see in the 121 world will continue to still be printed.

The headline reads "Jepp Stops the Presses", but I'm sure only a few people actually read the article.

As of today at least iPads for all of the Indoc stuff and a lot of systems info is self study it seems. EFBs were mentioned and are considered a priority for the reasons mentioned but waiting on a collaborative proposal from wholly-owned carriers.

Rumor has it, our union told the company they will not allow pilots to bear the cost of ipads. Again, just a rumor.

There should be an option. If you want it buy your own ipad. If not continue with cave man style.

The gentleman that was working with the company on getting us iPads was hired at mainline a few months ago. From what I have heard, everything involved with it was put on the back burner. But now that the new hires are getting them, only for training, makes me wonder if someone has picked up where he left off. My question is this. Do any current operators keep a paper back up of the charts and such just in case the iPads break?

Nope. If 2 iPads break at the same time.....

Negative, this leads down a slippery slope.
