No iPads coming to XJET.

[79%N1]

Looks like the dream is dead. Word is no iPads, Jepp cut their rates and the iPads are no longer cost effective over Jepps.

Get used to the 40 lb bag......

I'm surprised they don't give you guys airside. The skywest side has it, obviously it's cheaper.

Those Jepps might become pricey once the additional fuel burn is factored in and results in major partner's wanting less money for the same work.

I always figured that was a pipe dream.

 

[No Delay]

anyone really shocked? can't remember last time we had anything good happen around here


could always be negotiated in the new contract.....

Don't call in sick. They'll fire ya!!

The beatings will continue....and will increase.

Cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap, cheap.

It was a sham from the beginning to put pressure on Jeppesen to lower costs. Did you really believe that management here wanted to make life easier on us?

One thing has nothing to do with the other!!! What does jepp care if we use paper or reader? If they are cheaper now fine, subscription is the same either way

I'm not sure how the fee structure is set up, but obviously someone would be saving BIG $$$ by eliminating massive printing costs, thousands of pounds of paper, and associated massive shipping costs.

They certainly care if SkyWest, Inc was looking at a different chart vendor for the iPads (I've heard they were). Potentially losing a contract for 7500 customers would get Jeppessen's attention. However, I think the biggest problem is that the SkyWest board doesn't want to make the big initial investment while they are losing money, even if it would be cheaper in the long run.

Didn't SH say the airside shipsets were cheaper for Skywest than Expressjet due to the shipping costs?

With the ERJ going through Denver as much as it is I would imagine they are going to reevaluate the product once Expressjet returns to profitability.

I could care less about iPads as long as we can get Airside ship sets.

 

[Dannone]

Ship sets are fine as long as all manuals are included so I can just keep my copies electronically to avoid back and shoulder issues and manual updates.

Back injury, OJI. Worked like magic!

Doesn't look like ship sets are in the works, either. Something about shipping costs.

Keep hoisting....

 

[Sherpa]

How about they convert that next performance plus bonus into a tablet that we get to keep and use in lieu of paper plates, not that I want to eat off it?

The cost of all that crap is passed on to the consumer. In this case, the airline. Do you think that Jepp is going to slit their own throats by charging LESS for electronic? NOPE, they don't. The pricing structure is the SAME, if not more for electronic.

The cost savings incentive for the company is in the OJi spectrum.
