That's crap! That would definitley be a good reason to leave that airline to come here.
I missed that mandatory purchase plan in the LOA, on that basis it's a No for me too!
My point is that no management gives anything away for free and unless something is spelled out explicitly in contractual language the company will always interpret in their favor while you grieve it and wait months for an arbitration date. I'm not saying they will make you buy a broken iPad at retail price when they paid wholesale but if they can they probably will and there is nothing in the language to prevent it.
That said the iPad language is satisfactory to me and I would vote in favor if it were alone. The training is my huge issue and the fact that the group is not understanding the staffing implications is mind blowing. Trip protection and dhd pay is going to be small potatoes when they don't upgrade. Which will cost them more?
