Στην Alaska Airlines μετά απο επιτυχημένη δοκιμαστική περίοδο απόφασισαν να αντικαταστήσουν τη "βαλίτσα του πιλότου" με i-pads.

The iPads use an app called GoodReader, which has PDF versions of 41 flight, systems and performance manuals, reference cards and other materials, complete with links and color graphics. This lets pilots find information faster and more easily, Alaska said, adding that the materials also can be updated with a tap on the screen.
The airline evaluated iPads this past winter and spring with 100 line and instructor pilots and representatives from the Air Line Pilots Association union. It plans to give them to all pilots by mid-June.
Alaska also is looking to replacing paper aeronautical navigation charts with electronic versions on the iPad. These two initiatives, dubbed “Bye, Bye, Flight Bag,” should save about 2.4 million pieces of paper, the airline said.
