Bottom line, we need to get this integrated into our next contract so we don't work for free anymore... but chest thumping that "I don't work for free"... working for free at home, in the hotel, or in flight ops is the same thing... still working for free.
I was not debating the aspect of doing it on my time or company time. I was just describing how the iPad refresh was handled at FedEx.
It was a pretty easy process and all I really had to do was be home and enter my personal info to the iPad and hit update in the App Store for the initial install. Probably 15 minutes of my time, I'm ok with that. I also use the iPad for non work use so it is really a win for me, I've recouped my 15 minutes.
