Default Delta EFB??

Any solid intel on when Delta will roll out their EFBs? Are they still planning on using the Surface2?

Overall the process has been ripe with delays. In May we received a letter from mgt. saying we would be receiving timely updates. Did not see anything until just yesterday saying we would have an update next week.

Not holding my breath. Selecting an older product has probably caused some headaches and will no doubt cause more.

I do wonder too, won't the Surface be out of date and old technology by the time it hits the line?

It was out of date and old technology within a couple months of when they signed the deal to use Surface 2's. By time we get around to getting the "bugs" worked out of it, other airlines will have holograms that display charts.

While the whole process seems a typical boondoggle, there have been several updates. They were included in the weekly or monthly Flt Ops updates.

Saw a new distribution list while on my 9 month visit to Mecca. Instructors getting them in early SEP along with other testers. Fleet distribution starts in Oct. My fleet was slated for mid NOV. This is probably distribution plan number 17b so will probably change again.

It's always next month! I'll be in the kremlin this week and will see if I can sniff out some more details.

Truly how much more flexibility does the Surface give vs an Apple product, all we need is the ability to display the plates and have the manuals on line. We should care not a bit to be able to use it as our personal device. It always seems like we are trying for the latest and greatest in house product and instead we end up with a product that no one uses or wants. (Tahoe, FPS2)
