Also in the weekly flight ops update, an update on EFB.

Q: Will Delta have access to personal information on the Tablet?
A: Delta respects the confidentiality of all information and data contained within a personal profile on the Surface 2.

didn't really say if they had access though hey? Guess the answer is "yes, but trust us we won't look at it" lol.

Also, they didn't address the issue of the RT operating system already being sunset.
OTOH it's nice to finally get an update on what's up with the EFB, so you may like to read the link to this from the weekly ops update.

I think I'm just going to get a used Ipad2 based on what I read. This thing has been delayed for months now, and the timeline they present is increasingly vague... they used to say things like "by fall", now it's "sometime in 2014". I suspect this is to give them enough wiggle room when the wheels finally come off this roll out... How do you support a piece of hardware that the manufacturer stops supporting? That's the one question they didn't ask or answer, but it's the only one that really matters...

HOWEVER...

FAIL--they didn't explain why it was being done and their justification for having us ride the train for pickup, they didn't estimate the distance, they didn't tell how long it takes, and they didn't say how long it will add to the trip. They didn't say if it's outdoors standing around in the cold waiting, or all inside. All obvious questions that anyone graduated from HS should/would expect from such a change. And of course, this info should have come out a week ago, concurrent with the directive to TAKE the train. It's like my 4th grader was allowed to be a manager for a day and this was his task.
Can tell you it is at the direction of the Port Authority.

Close 1530 and it's out!
40 ATLM88B's on the AE and only filled 9!! Guess furlough bypass and new hires will fill those...
