True,
Unfortunately we will not be able to use them as they are out of date and we are not going to update them. We are getting the B787 electronic flight bag installed next year...Whats also cool is that they have the -9 page that show the airport diagram and where the airplane is on the airfield, very useful at airfields you haven't been at before.

Let's hope this starts the ball rolling for them to become the every day tool we all want!:beer:

Actually we can use them, flew one the other day. They just are not a substitute for the flight bag until all the aircraft are equipted. Works awesome.

They work but we're not allowed to use them for anything but play. I can't wait to ditch the books.

Good deal. Sure would be nice to ditch that 40 pound bag one day. My shoulder looks forward to it!

I flew with EFB's (no paper Jepps period, with the exception of enroute charts) at one of the fractionals. They are not the 100% panacea that people think they are. You give up one set of problems for another.

I'm envious. Before the merger we were working toward getting them. Know instead of EFBs we just had our flight bags increase by about 2 lbs. Oh joy.

The funding for class 2 EFB was just approved for the Continental 757 and 767 fleet. The installation will start this fall.

The thing I am looking forward to the most is NO REVISIONS.
