True EFB has been 13 years in the making, but they leaked this snap shot of what we can look forward to! The problem now is getting it through security on a tight turnaround. the current thinking is to issue them only to the boeing fleet for the trial period, as they do less turnaround flights. Note the large user friendly screen tucked neatly under his arm, and the bilingual keyboard!
The second pic clearly shows the helmet required to make it user friendly, the worrying trend for flight ops is the antennae are not yet compatible with the wearing of hats, so this component will be trialled at dragonair, as they no longer wear hats. Probably another 4 to 5 years for the final roll out.
