Also confused by the BYOD program. Can I buy an Ipad and have all the functionality that the company provided surface tablet will have?

Yes, Apple just put the ipad 4 for on the market for 399 dollars. Either that, or wait a couple more months for the Surface 2 and Power Cover. Flip the iPad to the kids at the end of the year (or whenever Delta decides to standardize on one device.)

K. I guess I should follow this more than I do, I'm just not a tech person and don't have a tablet. So is there a chance they will go Ipad instead of Microsoft? I thought the Surface was a done deal.

I think Delta might be trying for dual certification. The company will only provide the Surface; if you want an iPad it's out of your pocket. I'm sure the company will be thrilled if folks foot the bill for their own tablets.

Is that how y'all interpret it?

In any case, if Delta wants me to have a tablet, Delta can buy me one. And Delta can maintain it and fix it if necessary. No way I'm contaminating my personal device with Delta's presence. The AirWatch disclaimer says Delta can monitor and change anything it wants to on my personal device once the software's installed. Is Delta doing that? Probably not. But no way I'm agreeing to that.

Completely agree.

Some people are acting like the Malaysian guy having a sim in his house is weird or something. I've got a sim, galley, lav and a full crew rest in my basement. That's not weird...is it?

What does a pilot say when he stays over at a non-pilot friend's house?

"Wow, your soaps and shampoos are so big!"

Surface is the deal. Ipad authorized until the end of the year only. And I believe if you aren't already signed up with an ipad that it is too late. DYODD. It's probably all on the Deltanet somewhere.

So when a fNWA 29 year guy gets bumped of 330A to the 737A by a DAL 26 year guy and makes it tough on a 19 year 737A guy :eek: GMAFB!!!!!:rolleyes:
