So you're saying Microsoft is going to pull a Boeing?
This ought to be interesting.

My IPad doesn't even have that technology!

IPads are now funded for Q1 2018.

And I'm hearing we will have access to the internet in our cockpit to view hazardous weather like our passengers can in Q1 2027.

Sorry deadzoners. Good news is when you retire, you can fly a Cessna 172 immediately with all the latest technology we won't see for another decade.
General aviation makes us look like the Wright brothers. Capt Steve is clueless.

It's just plain negligent that we don't have access to the internet in the cockpit.

We need the best tools available.

I guess the FAA (like the post office) is the hold up.

50 years of tradition uninterrupted by progress.

Sweet, so now define "funding".

Surplus 8GB iPad 2's or the new Pro?
