I literally cannot believe at how many of you are so bent out of shape over crew room wifi. I thought we would be more concerned with 401-404 being parked next month? Do the update at home before or after your trip and if you don't have Internet access inform your CP. Can we move on now?
First, I'm former ZW. Second, this is a matter of principle. Heard of the saying, "Give them an inch and they'll take a mile?" The EFBs are the future and as such will be required. What's wrong with asking your employer that requires you to have current manuals to provide the means to make them such? This is no one's responsibility to provide this other than ZW's.

There seems to be some confusion over what it will take to get Wifi in the crew room. One management pilot said that the union has to request it first.
However the union notes that while a previous crew room grievance over crew room amenities was filed in 2012 and settled in 2014...the company has not addressed the current problem of not providing infrastructure for pilots to make company compelled updates to their EFBs.
The Union also noted that it should not fall to the association to solve this problem when this is an FAA approved program initiated by the company.
This, IMHO, has gone far beyond a comfort issue in the crew rooms. There are now enough mandatory company policies that involve internet access that they are obligated to provide it.

The company should provide access to the intranet for the sole purpose of updating our iPads. Nothing more needed.

The MEC needs to make the initiative to get internet access into the crew rooms for the general use of the pilots to do what they want while they're between flights - that could be updating your flight time on Airlineapps.com, streaming a movie on Netflix, whatever.

The latest FCM revision makes me think we are getting 200's from the desert soon. If all our planes have the 901 computer or whatever, then why mention a 701 computer?
RUMORS!!!
Or...
Since they removed all the pages for future use, that we do in fact have no future.
