Whats in your flight bag?

Quick question for you Westjeters...how much stuff is in your flight bag?
do you have to carry a complete set of jepps and company manuals, or is everything electronic, or kept in the plane?

Just wondering.

all the Jepps, FOM, COM we are responsible for. Recently we got approval to leave the com at home as long as you carried it electronically. They're toying with the idea of electronic flight bags on the planes, and they said they were going to test out one in one of the simulators, but as far as I know it hasn't happened(yet?)

They do have the Electronic Flight Bag in the newest sim. It can't come soon enough. I worked at Jazz up to mid 2003 and it's the exact same stuff and weight at WestJet.

Ipod, Jepps, COM, FOM, laptop, thermos, roll of Baloney, loaf of rye bread, and an Archie comic for flight delays.

Kag...

I actually have to carry two more books in my bag now at Westjet...only because we cant carry an electronic version of the FOM and COM on a laptop like I could at Jazz. I still have to carry my laptop so I can play online poker so I end up carrying an extra five pounds. Still two books of Jepps, same as Jazz.
