I have worked in airlines that had paper charts but they were maintained by flight ops admin and when you reported for work you collected a trip kit for your duty and the FO’s responsibility was to check that you had the relevant charts. At the end of the trip you dropped the trip kit back to the dispatch desk and went home. Of course I am being a bit disingenuous here, I signed up to work in an airline where I pay for medical and being my own food, I am just making the point that slowly but surely our working conditions are being whittled away in return for ‘gains’ in other areas, the Company keeps chipping away and relies on the fact that some will just get on with it and do things in their own time to keep the show on the road. If that is what you personally choose to do then all power to you, but please don’t question someone’s professionalism just because they choose to work within the contractual parameters that the company and relevant unions set.
