The iTunes agreement has nothing to do with our lease. I don't know if that was a poor attempt at humor or if TW actually believes we are idiots. There is absolutely no excuse for this. Delta has a massive legal team and the lease should have been finalized within a week after the decision to go with iPads.
They say the plan is to still distribute the iPads and LMS in January. With eight working days left in the month, good luck.
Also, will someone explain to TW that speed check does not replace proof reading. That would be a great "hurtle" for him to overcome.
Well... ok i guess you mean spell check. Florida education system, so maybe theres a speed check on the phone, does it have anything to do with my flaps?
Anyhow, delta and apple have a lot of mutual hate. Delta has a concern with the Apple legal agreement, and Apple knows microsoft won't support delta tablet need without a giant price tag so they're shrugging at our timeline. RA is on the board for Boeing and I have to believe someone's trying to run the Apple agreement in the ground so they have to go blow 3x the money -or whatever it is- for the microsoft product that sucks anyhow (still better than flight cases though).
If we have to carry charts for 8 more months so Delta can feel like they won a meaningless negotiation with Apple then so be it. I'd bet rich guys doing rich guy favors would tank the Ipad deal just to give RA and his boys more money at Microsoft. Investors cant say anything because Delta can pretend they tried.
Whatever, it'll get worked out or it won't. Good news. Next place will have them, get those resumes polished.
