My ASAP included that detail: Surface froze up necessitating the transfer of controls. Some how that little nugget didn't make it into the hangar flying narrative that went out to the masses and was nicely glossed over with no reason given for the why the transfer of control was made.

Not long ago I had an emergency where the captain gave me the aircraft and radios while he handled all the other duties. Long and short of it is that when it came time for the brief I asked him to go over the approach while I kept flying. His Surface was frozen like frosty and so he took over the flying at that point while I briefed it. We ended up leaving it like that and he did the approach and landing.

Do not know what everyone os complaining about. Microsoft acts like having a Frozen Surface is a good thing. They market it even. My daughters are delighted.

True, however the surface has yet to replace the bag of jepps. Airlines that went with the IPad were paperless in 6 months. We are into this 3 years with no sign of getting rid of the bag of Jepps.

And unless something has changed VERY recently, UAL still carries ship sets. So they don't have to lug them around, but neither do DAL pilots
