Anyone on this thread have a MacBook Air 11" or 13"?
My Apple-Mac IIe, from 1984, (Apple IIe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) finally died & am looking to get it replaced. (Computer store said they can no longer fix it!)
Anyway, looking for recommendations/suggestions/opinions on whether you'd go with the same screen size again, or would go smaller/larger based on when/where you use it on the road.
Basically, I'm looking for something that offers the "ease of commute-ability" factor, but also isn't a too small to have decent functionality for what you use it for? (e.g. 11" screen size owners wishing they'd purchased the 13" instead?)
Thanks for the replies.

That said, the Air is supposed to be updated early 3Q so if you can hang out a couple more months you'll get a much better one for the same price (usually how it works) or the same one for less.

That's not the study guide. To save money they eliminated any study guides. They condensed the initial systems into the VOL 1. Everything you need to know has a # beside it. I think they're going to eliminate VOL 2.
That there is the MD-90s database. When cleared direct to a fix on the jet route you're filed for and actually flying you sometimes reply "um, well, that fix isn't in our database..."

Need to adapt the "area nav" capability of the ATR-72.

I also travel with the 13 inch Mac Air - great machine! Take a look at the Brightline FLEX bags system Pilot Flight Bags, Modular Utility Bags, Pick your parts - Build your bag - Brightline Bags. Bought the one at The Stopover Store and love it! Computer, Mcrib, headset, iPad, flashlights, ... all fit into the bag easily.

No can do. I adhere strictly to the company policy concerning PEDS.
Only 1 PED is allowed in the cockpit at any one time and that PED is being used...
They need to come up with a better navigation option.
First, they removed space for the FOs bag. The FOs man purse, computer bag plus Mcrib, has no place either unless you rest it on top of the printer and MDM. And we need those like every few minutes. Plus it blocks the QRH which we need every other few minutes.
Just put your computer in the overhead bin located at seat 33A. Wait. In recurrent, how many of you are asked to list from memory where all the emergency equipment is by respective seat number? A Captain was telling me he had that on his last recurrent. He also got reamed on the debrief on a D period for doing his fuel pump check starting with the right pump and working left instead of starting with the DC pump and working to the right. The good thing was the entire debrief was dedicated to the fuel panel test and not some other stuff he didn't want to discuss.
The bad thing was the entire debrief time was used.

Had a GSA agent in SAT and one in BOS(after kcm was not working) both tell me I did not need to take it out. Just going off what they said. iPad is the same way. Never take that out.

The Ipad is approved by the TSA to remain in your bag. The Macbook air is not approved however looks like a Ipad enough that you may not be asked to take it out. I have a small netbook I only carry part time and have forgotton to take it out a few times. Perhaps half the time they don't say anything.
