Here I'll pass along a not that important rumor. When it comes to tablets/EFBs, the pecking order of who would get tablets would go as follows; people who interface with customers followed by those who need them in order of need.
We're at the bottom of that list. FA's (contract evidently is coming up on the machines they currently use), Red Coats/Gate Agents would come first.
Mechanics next.
Pilots last.
Or so I was told.
