We will get paid 5 hours per day, have to go to training just once per GS/PT/PC cycle, and not have to lug around Jeps and do revisions. They could just make us do 8 hours of home study right now for 4 hours per day pay per the contract. If we want something for this, do so at the upcoming contract negotiations. Just my $0.02.
Please stop thinking that iPads and not having to "lug around Jepp charts" is a benefit or a gain for us. It isn't. If iPads cost the company more money than paper charts, you think we would get them? No! Jepp charts makes the company more money, it has nothing to do with anything else.
