I think the IPad haters think the company should take care of the employees first and foremost by giving us a decent contract, and then worry about ipads and paint. After the last decade and all we've been through, I get it. However, I flew a corporate gig during my 1st furlough that used efb's that were fairly large and cumbersome compared to the IPad. They still ROCKED! When I went back to UAL and had to carry a flight bag and do Jepp revisions, I wanted to shoot myself.
I am impressed that the company is willing to get with the 21st century and provide a sleek, light efb platform. It's about f-ing time. And, if it saves the company money in the long run, that may help our plight for a real pay-scale. Just my opinion, FWIW.
Will we be able to view FOM's and AFM's on the IPads too? Or just Jepp charts?
