I'm so sick of this argument. Folks, this is VOLUNTARY program. You are not being FORCED to do anything. The Company will either provide an iPad Jepp subscription, or paper charts. Most of those in the program already had an iPad, very few went out and bought them solely for this purpose. If my personal iPad breaks or is stolen, I will repair or replace it, regardless of whether I not I use it for work. Same goes for my phone, my computer, or any other electronic device I have. If for some reason I could not afford to fix it, I would go to the CP office and be issued a set of paper plates. Problem solved.

Now if the company REQUIRED pilots to carry iPads, like most other airlines that have them, they damn well better provide them. But again, this is a VOLUNTARY program. Please stop complaining about those who are able to take advantage of it and make their lives easier. We have much bigger fish to fry at this point.
