For those wondering about the Ipads. There were about 15-20 that were floating around with check airmen to try out the software. They were not authorized to used them in the plane. Last I heard was all the of the training dept will get them next week around the 8th and that's when the trial period will start. In another month or two as the bugs get worked out they will start to get them system wide. So the idea is you will only need to carry both for 4-5 months. Of course its Spirit so maybe the trial will start in January.
