I have said it before, and will say it again; ALPA National has heard us loud and clear on this desire, but there are legal issues, and end user security that they want to minimize before allowing this sort of medium to be the platform used. Things like a pilot blowing off steam that could be construed as a cal for illegal job action come to mind. The last thing any of us wants is to learn the lesson in a court of law where it could effect a pilots livelihood.
I do know that they are continually working on a solution to this. Of course many feel they are too slow, but I personally do not want them to rush to market on a program that may cost a pilot their job over one errant comment. I am sure that when they find a solution they will come forth with it. It is not a dead issue.
