AA is bankrupt, but they still ponied up for iPads in the cockpit. Once again, Delta sits on the "industry leading" sideline.

I'm fine with that, though. Just show me "industry leading" scope, pay, and QOL improvements on C2012--and I'll put up with Jeps indefinitely.



Are you aware that the iPad is currently being tested by Delta pilots out on the line? The iPad is in the final test phase right now.

Think the money was cut out of the budget for the EFB pads for next year.

I know a DC9 FO testing it on the line right now. I don't think the company intended to have them out before 2013 anyway.

FO lines are showing up; just click on the blank where the 'X' should be.

"Final" test phase? hmph. Until I'm holding one, they don't exist.
Has any money been authorized and allocated to fund them? Wake me up when that happens.
Until then, there's nothing to see here.

I visit family there quite frequently, so I did get some clubs fitted at the PGA Superstore north of Marietta one time. I DO NOT recommend them for club fittings. I was taking a lesson from my club pro with these Callaways a month later and he noticed they were not fitted properly (2 degrees low). Unfortunately, I don't have a good place to recommend from a personal experience, but The Golf Doctor north of Atlanta is recommended by Golf Digest as one of their top 100 club fitters in the nation. If you go there let me know how what you think of them.

Is there a limit as to how many times you can move days off around on a reserve line? I checked my request in PCS and it says "not allowed until next months schedule" Prior to this request I have moved around days off twice so far in December so I'm guessing it's a 2 award limit per month? Couldn't find anything in the contract.

The hydraulics and flight controls specialist on the NTSB "Go" team related quite a bit to me about that mishap. He was my uncle.

I with ya on the scope issue. Big time.

I'm fine with it, but the seniority thing has had a huge effect on me with respect to being ATL based. (My choice)

Occupy,

What exactly are you upset about here? You praise American, criticize Delta, and post an article as proof that Delta is sitting on the "industry leading sideline." But, the article says that American is/was joining Delta and Alaska's intentions to switch to the ipads. So what that American got approval first? Delta is working on it, aren't they?

First paragraph of the article:


If you’re flying American on Friday, there’s a chance your pilot will be using an iPad instead of the traditional paper flight charts. The airline has reportedly become the first major one to get FAA approval for the device, though smaller charter lines have had it for a while. American announced their intention to make the switch back in June, joining Alaska and Delta and probably a few others by now.
I mean thanks for posting the article, but don't misrepresent it as if it is suggesting that Delta not trying when it comes to implementing the ipad for use by its flight crews. It takes away from your legitimate criticisms of our pay, scope, and QOL.
