I tend to agree, but just not 100% realistic. They seem to have actually encouraged personal use by adding white list apps that clearly have nothing to do with EFB function. The lines are smeered for many reasons: A union app? Apple's refusal to offer the device without full functionality? We could go on and on.
Many of us learned the hard way that using personal devices and personal email accounts for company business is also not always a good idea. This was fully demonstrated when a chief pilot's email list was compromised. No thanks, this is bad advice. I'll use the company iPad and company email address for company correspondence from now on.
