At least I won't need a carry around a pack of those white tape circles to reinforce the holes that my Jepps chewed up...

If everything goes according to the schedule we should see the first batch of pilots transition to EFB's in the Dec 15 - Feb 16 timeframe.

Anyone that votes for the surface should be tied and beaten.

Isn't one of Delta's biggest corporate customers Microsoft? I highly doubt the mothership would allow Apple products to fly at their WO.

Best part is Delta does not get a vote. 9E money, 9E decision.

Got some hands on time with a surface, I like the ability to split the display so you can have Jepps on one side, and another manual on the other. A few little functionality things/quirks, but I'll just be glad to have a tablet in hand.

I'm more of an iPad user myself, so that would be my first choice when it comes down to it.

Haha, you think 9E controls their money...that's cute. That wouldn't make it much of a WO, would it?

That's the ONLY reason we (Delta) have the Surface. I have yet to fly with or talk to anyone who likes it. We are already beginning to integrate the Surface 3 after it's already been stopped being supported by Microsoft.
