Quite a few airlines have stopped issuing the operations manuals that we all before carried around in our bags.
These manuals are now stuffed back into a area where we have to get out of our seat and find to look up the required info.
They now rely on the C/D and laptops to get the same info..
Yes there is still the QRH on the flight deck and a limited amount of info on the operations manual concerning systems or a expanded view of the QRH.
The most concern that I see is the Jeps, many airlines expect you to print out the jeps and runway analysis charts from a company provided laptop and on board printer for airports that are not the norm.
This is not the big airlines way of operation but a growing trend in the less than major way of operations.
Yet some how we all let this happen.
Some how those in power cannot see the forest for the trees!!!!
