I am curious what the UAL side has been hearing from the rumor mill. Obviously before we can go SOC we have to get both sides the same since UAL has ship sets and CAL still has to carry brain bags (good spot for a United Against Outsourcing sticker by the way).
I heard this rumor when the Ipad fist came out. I don't see it happening. All the documents are in the aircraft (shipsets). Why would they spend money on a fancy gadget when they don't have to?
My bet is that when the SOC is finished - CAL jets will have shipsets and you will no longer have to drag that bag around.
