Cryptic may have been the wrong word but part of me thinks that the FAA "certification" of EFB's should not hinge on the last pilot to get their EFB setup. I know it is the government but I just can't get over the fact that we are certified to use both paper and EFB. Why not let those who are not compliant or don't have their EFB's just carry paper and let the rest of us move on.

IOS 10 Upgrades
Just a friendly reminder folks; your Company issued iPad is a 'Managed Device'.
Airwatch is the tool that offers you Software from a Catalog and reports your devices Compliance with Company Requirements.
This wasn't especially well explained, but do not upgrade any of the Company installed Software; JeppFD Pro, Outlook etc. -Upgrade the Charts from inside the Jepp App, but not the App itself. And absolutely do not upgrade the iPads OS until you get an Email from the EFB administrators telling you to so.
In the past Jepp has had problems with IOS upgrades rendering it useless. AirWatch will report and likely quarantine your device if you try, and then you're dead in the water.
Again. PM for help....

I'm calling BS on this. Sounds more like laziness to me. I know people have been commuting in earlier than required just to be able to pick up their EFBs. (Obviously not everyone though)
Also, as a tip, make sure to open your Content Locker at least once every 10 days while on wifi, or it will lock you out. Even if there are no updates, it must be opened while online. A phone hotspot is a quick fix, but prevention is a better solution.

Fair enough, and no I have not been. I avoid that place like a plague.
However, if someone were to really want to pick up a device, I would imagine a simple phone call to the base manager would create possibilities for said person.
