Not sure what you mean about crewtrac login. Minus a few times (maybe 5 in the past 8 months), I have been able to log into CT just fine. Took me a minute to learn there was a new site when it recently changed, but that was a communication issue, not a site issue.
Legal disagreement about the ipads? Hadn't heard, but I guess it's possible. All I was told is that LMS training will be out this month for them, and after training is complete, we will be able to use them. I haven't had to wait since 2013, so perhaps I am more patient.
As for your comment: "Bottom line, come here if you want decent pay, willing to stay in New York, like noncommutable trips, and are willing to take full responsibility for your own career progression, because we have none. " Not quite sure what you mean. Commutability is a personal responsibility, and has a lot to do with where one chooses to live. NY is the hot place since mid-2016, but that will be slowing down pretty soon I'd wager. The focus will be on the rumored new base. And taking responsibility for one's own career progression... doesn't that go without saying for anyone anywhere?

We can't log in to crewtrac either, our computers are terribly antiquated. We just upgraded to windows 7 a couple months ago. The only thing you can efficiently do on mobile is LMS, otherwise try to find a PC with Internet Explorer. We have Flica, but there are never any green days. All you can do is pick up on days off or trade with other pilots (rare).
We don't have iPads. We have an approval for them, but Delta legal and Apple are in a pi$$ing match right now. Who knows when we'll actually get them. We were supposed to get them in 2013, but the BK happened. Then we were supposed to get them the first week of this year. Now, who knows when.
Bottom line, come here if you want decent pay, willing to stay in New York, like noncommutable trips, and are willing to take full responsibility for your own career progression, because we have none.
If I were in a new guy's shoes, I'd go to an AA WO in a heartbeat. Why not have close to the same pay and a flow in your back pocket should you need it. This industry is very volatile, especially at the regionals. Today's golden child is tomorrow's turd. Today's turd, well, who knows what'll happen. XJT is a perfect example. A formerly top notch airline with some really great people that is now being decimated.
