This was my only desired knowledge gained at my last PC about 6 weeks ago. I went in determined to get to the bottom of this question at the expense of sacrificing quality training by our top notch TK FTI's, PI's, and Standard Capts. At Security training, asked instructor "what's the deal with the Ipads?". He stated it's a done deal and should see them by the end of the year. Then, I asked our PI at FOM review, he said they dropped it altogether and we aren't getting them. Next day, asked the FTI the same question, he said they're still working on a vender, pricing, etc. Finally, on day 3, posed question to Std Capt and he said "who the hell knows. So, there you have it. That is pretty clear to me which way they're going on this. Another successful PC with plenty of knowledge gained.
