Airlines copy bimblers 4 efficiency

Was flying with an airline captain friend from one of the majors in his tail dragger this week and he was showing me his new company issued IPAD (with cables and attachments) all loaded up with Jepp charts and other nav features, the set up was kind of like SD on steroids.

Apparently we VFR bimblers won't be the only folks in the skies with suction cups plastered on the windshield and power cables draped across the yoke around the throttle control then into a USB port.
He says it's all he ever looks at on long haul flights.

We're trendsetters! Who'd have thunk it?
