Maybe they should start doing survey road shows, take us out to family dinners, and tell us they're not selling the survey to us. That might work.

 

About 25% or so have completed it so far. The other surveys had around 30-35% take the time to complete it.

 

Don't look at the survey as a single tree, look at it as a whole forest.

 

lol hilarious

 

Anyone get their Ipad (for those who wanted a company issued one) in the mail yet? I know LCAS have them, is their an ETA for lineholders to expect them so its not just sitting on my doorstep.

 

It would be smart if they sent us tracking numbers...

 

I believe it is due to ship out the first week of December

 

Sounds like it's gonna be a train wreck rolling out. A PIF a couple weeks ago talked about even with the iPad on Dec 1st, you still needed to carry your Jepps as sole source until further advised. Correct me if I'm wrong though, but pretty sure I saw that.

I just flew with someone that knew a guy at RAH. RAH actually tested these out for Navtech for 6-12 months a couple years back. After the trial they promptly said hell no. He said they had lots of ASAPs.

Look I'm all for lightening up and moving forward with technology, but it's so frustrating a company that is not at all 'broke' are so god damn cheap with everything. At some point you have to say "we've made plenty now let's use some of this money and make things better" etc. How it's explained to me is this is not costing AWAC anything as we are going to be giving Navtech feedback etc as their only US carrier. Figures.

If they were hell bent on not paying Jepp, I wish they would have just used Foreflight. FF is awesome as hell and the government charts it uses are easier than Navtechs IMO.

 

I heard Mesa used them too with similar results. Violations and ASAP reports sky rocketed becuase the charts were all incorrect or had wrong information.

 

Just flew with someone yesterday who got the iPad early with the NavTech software. Was missing the Inital altitude for the ALB5 departure. Bad first impression.
