Microsoft is a Delta business partner. We have a loyal and devoted group of fruit computer users who develop work arounds, but Delta management is becoming more specifically anti apple as time goes on.
We are supposed to get Windows RT (yeah RT) devices given to us which will run all of the Company's apps: (pick an answer)
- October 2013
- December 2013
- January 2014
- March 2014
- Test folks might get them in March 2014
- Who knows?
- Jeppesen may simply refuse to develop an RT version of it's EFB
- Microsoft may pull the plug on RT
I nearly bought an iPad Air, but management came out and said they will not support that device and it will not ever be approved in our pubs BYOD program.
So, if you are computer shopping ... save your money and hope the Company issues you a bright shiny Surface 2 in new hire class, or shortly thereafter. Welcome aboard.
