I know. I praise the OOBWS if I'm on SC and curse them when I'm up for a GS.

I wonder if they realize they're not helping themselves get back to their preferred base. If the company can basically utilize them in two bases, why adjust staffing?

Sec 23 N(greater than 12 hours notice)

1)Recovery Flying
2)In base WS
3)Long Call
4)Short Call
5)Reserve pilot YS touching X days
6)Out of Base WS

Sec 23 O(less than 12 hours notice)

1)Recovery Flying
2)In base WS
3)Long call YS
4)Out of base WS
5)Short Call
6)Out of base Long call YS
Thanks for the clarification.

Can you still fly thru the "D" [in the DELTA sign] on the barber pole? Watch out 4th floor.

I got to "play" with one yesterday, and yes it is a bit heavier and thicker than an iPad. About the same as an iPad with a substantial leather case. It is going to take some getting used to, with different swipe functions, but it does have some features that I liked better than my iPad. The ones we get will be 64Gb, and they have a separate slot for a micro SD card for personal storage. I love the Jepp product, very cool.

In the end, it is still going to be a "company" device, so I will likely still carry an ipad for my stuff. A huge improvement over just 7 years ago when we were lugging around a huge bag for all the manuals!

There is a reason that every other airline is using the iPad.

I think Flight Ops was pretty clear that because of our business relationship with Microsoft, we were getting the Surface. I suspect that Microsoft is giving them to us at a large discount, and/or paying to develop the software we need. Notice how Flight Ops said two pilots were at Microsoft Business seminar or something, demoing the device?
