This wasn't a blanket approval for pilots to throw out all dead trees.

The FAA actually only gave approval to one charter company (Executive Jet Management) to use the iPad in conjunction with their extensive operations manual. Right now all authorizations are being done on a case-by-case basis.

They were the only ones that applied - it's hard to see the FAA now saying it's unsafe for Middle-manager Jet Management next door
