My IPAD is on the way, airline issue. Hate Apple, but have to admit I will like getting rid of 40 + lbs. of pubs I carry at work. That's right, over 40 lbs of crap. I seized up my back throwing the damn thing over my seat in the cockpit. Was out of work for nearly two weeks. I have had half dozen more minor strains over the years. Those types of injuries cost enough to justify IPADs. But wait, there is little to no cost. According to a brief from a high placed guy in my airline, Jepp charges about the same for paper as the downloaded electronic version. But the reduction of the weight of two or three guys pubs in the cockpit saves fuel. Might seem small, but it is a huge airline and the savings multiply long after the IPADs are paid for. Then there is the handling cost associated with the manual distribution of all the updates to over 6000 pilots, plus instructors. Now consider the medical and lost work costs and it is a no brainier. Damn it all. I was a proud Apple hater. Never bought a single product. Now I have one and glad to have it.
