Rumor: We might be issued Apple iPads sometime in 2011.

Answer: According to UAL Flight Operations management, the Authorization Request for iPads is complete and Flight Technology is currently vetting the program through Corporate Finance. There is a goal to present the program to the Board of Directors in December for final approval, with pilots receiving them sometime in 2011. The iPads would be a Class 1 EFB provided to all United and Continental pilots.
