As I said on the previous thread ......

Smaller airlines like JQ are not the only airlines heading towards entirely electronic manuals, the bigger airlines are doing it as well. For what it's worth, I agree with the previous comments regarding paper manuals being more user friendly. Being able to flip through the paper manual not only allows me to absorb more info, occasionally while flipping, I come across something else of interest that gets mentally filed away I definitely do not get the same result using the electronic manuals. Although it's a pain having to do amendments, I find I note the changes more effectively when I'm doing them. Having them done electronically they generally don't get noted and before someone comments that the changes can be looked up on the computer, honestly how many pilots are actually going to take the time to do that ?
