Paperless cockpit?

“Our two greatest problems are gravity and paperwork. We can lick gravity, but sometimes the paperwork is overwhelming.”

Werner von Braun

Are you a paperless cockpit? Is that even a thing?

Chuck Cook, fleet technology manager at JetBlue Airways, told the press this week Jepp has “allowed us to … achieve fully paperless operations.

But hold on a minute. Here’s some pictures from the real world. Apparently fully paperless does not include the checklists, the non-normal checklists, the maintenance logbook, the flight plan, the release, the weather, the ATIS, the fit-to-fly forms, or several hundred other pages. Every time I takeoff, a tree dies! Are you going paperless?
