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'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.

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.
