Won't make any diff. unless the company provides the ipads. Companies that go paperless with their manuals, also provide the electronic equipment that goes with it. As Jetblue did issuing a laptop to each pilot on which resided all the manuals with auto updating. What we have here is neither this or that. It's a joke. Electronic manuals which most people don't keep up to date. The cheezy auto updating system which fails months before they know and most can't figure out how to even install in the first place.
Unless they provide the ipads, there's no reason to expect individuals to pay out of pocket to make any of this work. The way these tight wads are, that will never happen. As far behind the rest of the industry as we are on so many fronts, we will have an all EFB equipped fleet before any of this is relevant. How in the hell can an airline say "We're electronic paperless manuals..." when they have no controlled documents issued to the crew, is beyond funny. It's childish to think everyone will on their own download up to date manuals and keep them up. A lot don't. And it shows.
