Boeing's maintenance manual rewrite is a nightmare compared to the old one

I used the old blue binder system for 8 years and could find any torque spec in 2 minutes. The new digital version they rolled out last quarter buries everything in submenus and takes 5 minutes just to confirm a fastener type. Has anyone else on the 737 line noticed this slowdown?

Has anyone checked if it's actually faster to just pull up the old .pdf scans instead of navigating those menus? I'm curious because I've heard some guys are keeping the old binder hidden in their toolboxes, but that feels like a liability issue waiting to happen... maybe there's a workaround that doesn't break compliance?

Liability issue" is just code for "don't get caught." 😏
