Looks like our trips could get more efficient with another eastern time zone base.

Will Skywest get IPADS when Jepps switches to Foreflight and drops windows or will they soldier on with the Surface? Hmmm...

Must be living a pipe dream to think we will get iPads, let alone ForeFlight

They're just rolling out flightview to everyone. Don't think a new EFB is on any radar. Microsoft probably gave a stellar deal

According to the Delta thread Jepp will be dropping Windows, so that will leave the Surface without a Jepview?

What would foreflight do for us that jepp charts don't?
Flight view?
I have no experience with any of these.

I can't believe I'm saying this,
But if CBTs and the future prospect of releases, mx can and deferrals can't happen on an iPad I'd rather keep the crap surface.

Go to company manuals, EFB tab, setup your data.

Flightview should be on all surfaces now, just like the updated company manuals apps.

I thought it was still in testing but my capt said it's available to everyone now. Must have missed the email.

It is still in test, they just want everybody to test it. Maybe because the designated testers have not been testing it much...because it's a PITA to use.

Gotcha. So far I like that I can pull up a release on my tablet but all the rest of the stuff takes too much unnecessary time, IMO. Especially on quick turns. I have just been going on and clicking the release and that's pretty much it.

I for one used it for no more than 4 legs before it wore me out trying to activate/deactivate flight legs. Definitely not worthy of a quick turn yet
