Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to know!

All of our planes have headsets (most with the Telex Airman 750s, but several 747s and 767s with Sennheiser noise-cancelling ones). Good luck.

EFBs:

What we heard in MIA this month:

The iPad is an approved device (for years).
The Jepps charts are approved on the iPad.
Atlas got FAA approval to use the iPad in the aircraft a few weeks ago.

Jan the 1st quarter Distant Learning (CPAT) comes out, with an iPad/Jepps module...when each pilot completes the online training, they are certified to use the iPad on the aircraft without restrictions.

Also, several Check Airman are already approved to use the devices in all phases of flight.

When do the power outlets show up in the -400? An iPad will not last CVG - ICN. Not even close.

No reason to have it running with the screen on for 14 hours is my thought.

This. I'd imagine referencing it as often as I reference the paper charts now, which would leave ample battery if charged prior. However, I can't imagine it would be all that tough to reconnect the USB ports at each station that have been "cannon plugged" INOP.

My thought was that there's an outlet on the flight deck and one at the galley that can be used to charge the devices, if required, while in rest.

K4 has iPads on the aircraft......mounts with constant power, GPS enabled enroute charts.... and on the taxi diagrams as well. We also have WSI wx capability on the ground. WIFI hotspots on each aircraft so they can receive email for the aircraft and print capability. I suspect once you have them fully operational you will love them.

Does Atlas send out thanks but no thanks emails after the phone interview? I did the phone interview a couple months ago and haven't heard a peep.

I'm in the pool and awaiting a class date. I haven't been contacted yet....hoping I'm not treading water too long!

Happy holidays to you all.
Same. Nothing heard. Considering emailing KF. Preference for light twin.
