They have been saying the 29th for the announcement for some time. Hope it holds.
Sept cannot come soon enough since my flight kit is about to die.
Nu:
I would love the ability to have scheduling get us on test, e-mail et al.
Should we demand a RIM based phone, 20 bucks a month for a text plan, what else should we ask for to give this benefit to the company. I know they would like it, so what are we willing to take to get it?
Netjets has a blackberry that has a bunch of programs on it. They send your next days sked or a reroute to the phone and you ack it, your are fatigued, you ack it. I like that idea, but for 12000 plus pilots that phone is a huge expense. Would you be willing to buy a smart phone that would be required to have these programs on it? We need to find a way to make this work for us, and for them.
Start discussing this!
