UAL Heavy you are shouting by writing in bold.

Now explain to us all how turning down the IPad will get a contract any faster? Is there some sort of economic penalty your are laying on the Company by saying "NO" to the IPad?

Arguments and discussions about its use, location safety , responsibility if lost or broken and training are all valid, but how will getting a contract will fix these things???

I suppose you probably also feel being an FFDO without pay and going to training on the pilot's dime is wrong. So pilots should say "NO" to defending the cockpit unless they are trained and provided the tools at either the Company's cost or the TSA's. And forget the responsibility of carrying and IPad, just think about what an FFDO is responsible for on layovers. Shades of horrors!

Dude your bullying attitude just gets the playground all wound up and does nothing to make the teacher present math any better. All it gets us is an "F."
