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 GMAFB!!!!!

 

Holy crap! I've never seen so much open time!!!

 

Yep! I don't avoid anyone, but if I was to have a NFL he'd be on it! I've flown at least two trips with the guy, and as difficult as it was, I'm not going to reduce my bidding options b/c of anyone....just too junior for that!
Get him talking about his hobby and the trip will go smoother.

 

No lie! If my category had that much open time, I'd fly nothing but greenslips with conflict.

 

x2.

The only way to tolerate him is to get him talking about competitive gliding. He's some gliding instructor and it takes his mind off of being a double breasted d bag.

And, yes he has been told many times that nobody likes to fly with him. However, his narcissistic, sociopathic ways will not allow him to be cool. I know it's my problem, but he is one of the people that can ruin an otherwise descent 4 day. He is just so insecure. When the FO turns one way to avoid a TStorm, he wants to turn the other way. Then, when things get sporty, he panics. On top of this, he is not all that great of a stick and rudder guy. Ham fisted.
He interprets the rules VERY narrowly. Then, to communicate his displeasure at your obvious misdeed, his only method is by raising his voice or slapping your hand away from the offending control.
Yes, the powers that be know. But, the power of d baggery has overcome the power of the CPO.
I feel better now.
