SJS Syndrome,
See here's the things you are missing.
I don't care what I'm flying, FUPM.
I don't care what I'm wearing, FUPM.
I don't care what I'm carrying, FUPM.
Don't even THINK about touching my crew meal.
You'd have to be a complete moron to use the iPad for ANYTHING other than work, or to take it ANYWHERE other than on your trips... We know who our management is.
Most of us just really don't care, because it doesn't make any difference. We don't carry bags anymore, so it's not a convenience for us. For those of us that don't have wifi on board (all except a few PS 757's at UAL), there is no information that we can obtain that is new.
Now..... if you put wifi on all the airplanes, and I could actually use the thing to get real time weather, have a moving map taxi diagram, have access the company computer during flight to track my commute home, etc. etc., THEN I'd see it as a real benefit. Right now, it's not any of those things.
See, you were wrong in your post. It's the gold bars that we want. When they start giving THOSE away, we will be happy. Oh, and when we get rid of those career wrecking RJ's. That will make us happy too.
