But FA's will continue to write up pilots because they think they are commuting or they just hate pilots. Nobody cares, it just goes into the circular file... What does this have to do with FA's texting while doing their job?
So what if they are commuting? Saying bye to the last 10 stragglers means we have to miss our commute home? Right.

Except it wouldn't even be a prostans issue because it isn't a valid complaint in the first place.

Surface tablet... DEFINITELY should be getting paid to set that thing up!! I was up for 3 hours last night rebooting that thing and loading updates and rebooting and getting "There was a problem with your download, please try again" messages. I STILL don't have the air-locker stuff loaded on it, just the updates!

Literally fell asleep approaching 2am loading that thing.
Can't get the keyboard cover to work, none of the paper they sent with it tells how to make the KB talk to computer... mine just sits there. Of course I don't have a computer to watch their "training CD" on, due to other computer issues, so if the answer is in there, I won't find it for a bit... any quick tips to make that KB work?

Not sure if it works upside down, make sure the windows logo of the tablet is on the bottom. Mine does the same thing to a lesser extent, I will have it hooked up and the tablet sometimes refuses to recognize it is connected. I usually jiggle, detach and reattach a few times until it works. Good luck.

I flew for the 1st time with it yesterday and absolutely loved how much easier it is than paper. Can't wait til I can ditch the mcrb.

Thx MikeF16. Will try reattaching it a few times.

No B backdoor sched's yet, but the Feb page is up in Deltanet with all the A's linked.

Still no backdoor AE (download last AE award, change the URL final date digits to today's date, if it's published it will download... been able to get a 7 or 8 hour jump on the AE this way before).

Agreed - Two hours for me as well. Being a Mac guy this thing is difficult to use. Even my kids had a good laugh. Hope once we get used to it all will be better. The guys I've seen using it seem to like it a bunch. I'd still rather have an iPad, but that's what I'm used to.

Baja.

BTW - Tried to Backdoor the Surface w/ no luck. That's gonna be a hassle.
