Maybe they should work with the ual management pilots on this project, so far 3 plus years and counting still not up and running. The special assignment bunch.

Have you ever said anything nice about US Airways? You hate the iPad. You hate the hotels. You apparently hate everything. Most people have to work someplace 30 years to become that miserable and bitter!

You need to find something in life you don't hate. Or get laid ....

Agreed, keep the Ipad. Who is responsible if it gets dropped or stolen?

Put the ipads in the jet. If it gets damaged or stolen, let the Co. pay for the loss. They can track the ipads all day long if they wish, as long as I'm no were near it on my offndays. Technology can enslave the operator. Particularly when it is misunderstood or underestimated. .

I would prefer airplane specific efbs. I don't want to be responsible for it. I wish they would just keep the ones in the 319s and put them in the rest of the fleet.

I'm not understanding some of the objections... the iPad is a very cool piece of technology, and is really useful in flight beyond Jeppesons. Even somewhat silly things come in handy - like one of my favorite apps, a WB crew rest tool.

The iPad lets you capture screen shots instantly. I have a dozen from various pages in my manuals, like RWY length requirements in odd configs, the LHR constant descent charts, etc. These sit (for me) in a "777" collection; you can grab any of them instantly, rather than plowing through PERF pages and the like.

The iPads we got (AA) are technically company property, but you can have whatever apps on them you want. I'm obviously a huge fan. It has greatly simplified what was before an immense conglomeration of paper manuals.

That thing is a piece of crap.

I'm looking forward to the ipad for the having everything in one spot.

Foreverfo-Do you guys have access to wifi for weather on yours? I've heard that we won't. Does any airline? My brother in law is a corporate pilot and what they have is amazing.

Fear, paranoia.

It's not entirely unjustified. But my take on it, is that if you're a typical line pilot flying under the radar then just keep the adult content off it and don't worry. The company has better things to do than spy on your web browsing and email. Obviously I wouldnt do any union business on it.

My question is what happens when you drop it or lose it.
