Why change a good system which is used by many companies, called Jeppessen, for a more expensive, inaccurate and unsafe one called Lido?? I suppose the latter was sold to promote some one's pocket....!!! How can the company make a statement to say safety was not compromised? BULLS**T!!! Management will once again blame the pilots in case of an accident/incident. Has this been reported to the BAZL/FOCA??? Why don't they ground Swiss operations till these mistakes have been rectified?? So, they must be held equally responcible for an incident!!!

"Pilots have computers on board for navigation and they can
call air traffic control." Not all Swiss aircraft are equipted with these systems.
" It's not a big safetyproblem since we know the Jeppesens by heart." =fantastic memory!! Especially when revision are sent out....
"The national carrier, Swiss, recently decided to pull out of Lugano, but at least three other airlines have announced plans to launch flight operations from southern Switzerland." In a nutshell: starting September 1st, the Saab 2000 is restricted from flying into Lugano because of the steep approach. " There was nothing wrong in flying a SAAB into Lugano previously, but now that there will be oppostion....!!!!
