If they lock you out of your efb until you acknowledge then you have no choice to accept. It basically puts you at the mercy of CS which is not a friendly place to be at Skw.
Unless the company plans to purchase data plans for all our tablets I don't see how that will be effective. It also has nothing to do with the reflow policy Sapa is proposing.
Per Verdean,
SKYW will be purchasing LTE service, and if SKYW is paying for anything you will pay also. Expect notifications via EFB, and no you will not be able to keep it in airplane mode, SOP will require electronic contact between legs, all they will have to do is make a couple of D. Douglas (

And no it's not "fear mongering" when you have been at SKYW for more than 6 months, you will understand the quiet panic over the EFB notification, SKYW has the uncanny ability to pervert just about anything good, into a sphincter stretching nightmare. EFB would be normally good, SKYW is making it into an electronic umbilical cord.
