What just kills me is how the pilots believe this stuff. Here we have billion dollar companies that tell the pilots if they take the pillows off the planes it will save $150k a year or something, really making a difference, make or break.
The cost of a set of Jepps vs the cost of an IPAD and a Jepp Subscription is pretty much what American could negotiate with Jepp. Now when you consider how many IPADs have been broken, dropped, had coffee spilled on them, needed a repair etc...
The big plus is not having to carry paper, probably less back surgeries.
