Anyone have an idea of when we get them? I was told around March.

Inside info says January 27th to order them

Oh that’s coming up soon, thanks. Super excited for the new ones!

MY old one... or AN old one?

I ask because I've heard we will still have to ship ours back to get them wiped. I don't want someone else's that has a battery going bad or whatnot.

I would pay it. Mainly because I have also heard that the wifi functionality of the new ones will only allow like 4 applications to run. So if you watch Netflix on it at the hotel or use it to search the internet, looks like that may go away.

Yeah they would have to offer some sort of warranty on it otherwise its not that great of a deal. Like you said, if I could keep the one I have, which I know has been taken care of and is in great shape, awesome, otherwise I dont know.

$139! Why don’t they let us keep it for free as a good gesture and to bring the moral up a tad; I think that will be a good start to 2020.

They are probably letting you buy them at the trade in value they'd get if they traded them. Not a bad deal actually.

$139 is a lot of money for a poor FO that lives off bologna and wonder bread.

Damn you buy Wonder bread?! I usually hang around the dumpster at the local bagel shop for the throwaways 😁

Pick up an OT turn and you are done lol. I know, I get it, but still is a good deal.

Bread Winners off of 114 discounts their expensive pastries after about 5pm.

Endeavor is getting to keep their old ones for free, wonder if they'll reconsider.

Where does it say we had to pay for the new ones in the email we got from RW?

Just curious when that email from rw was, never got it.

New ones come free.

Supposedly, you will have the option to buy your old one if you want to keep it as well.

Me either.

Thanks, idk why anyone would buy out a clapped out 5 year old iPad lol

Here ya go! From RW

Wishing you the Happiest of Holidays!

As 2019 draws to an end, it has been yet another remarkable year for Envoy. Year over year we have seen a steady increase in daily operations and the number of aircraft that we fly, further solidifying our position as the largest and best American Eagle operator for American Airlines. This growth coupled with the high number of pilots advancing to American Airlines has created a fast moving seniority list, where time to Captain is only about two years from date of hire. This year we also reached a new agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association that provided a significant increase in pilot pay rates and even higher flow-through rates, further accelerating the timetable for all new hire pilots to more quickly reach their ultimate destination at American Airlines. Last week, the 2,000th Envoy pilot flowed to American Airlines to continue his flying career at the mainline, marking an impressive milestone for Envoy and the industry as a whole. In fact, since 2014, Envoy has provided 50 percent of American’s new-hire pilots.

As we look ahead to 2020, Envoy is set to continue its growth pattern with more aircraft, more departures and more block hours. This growth along with our expectation that a high number of our pilots will continue to advance to American Airlines will continue to drive the need for a large number of new Captains and new hire pilots next year. Not only will we continue to see short times for upgrade to Captain, but we will also see reduced time to AA – where in 2020 we are projecting flow-through pilots will reach five and half years from date of hire. We will be making some major investments on the flight deck as we are set to undergo an Electronic Flight Bag refresh where we will transition to the new iPad Air 3 along with a new case mounting system. As well as, migrating to a new Distance Learning platform that will now be compatible with our Electronic Flight Bag and no longer require the use of a desktop computer. All of these enhancements are possible due to your hard work and professionalism in providing a safe, reliable and efficient service for American Airlines. Keep up the good work.

can these be used with Verizon wireless with a new sim card, or are they ATT compatible only if we wanted to keep cell data function?

Since it’s provided by the company they dictate who the cell provider is and Apple locks it into that carrier

oh yeah that’s a good point. Well a hard pass for me. That was easy.

You can get it unlocked by contacting ATT.

can you use it with Verizon? Depends

What iPad would you use then? I agree Verizon is better than ATT but it’s not like we’re paying the data bill lol, would you use your own? I have no idea if we can or not I never really looked into it.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

yeah, depending on your plan just as a tablet line and use it for data

Which is why I was asking if the one we "kept" is the one we've been actually using. Mine's far newer than 5 years and is in pretty good shape. But if I send it off for the security wipe and I get someone else's clapped out 5 year old iPad, I'd be ****ed.

Same, but if RW said new an updated refresh of the efb program with NEW iPad Air 3’s (aka the current one on the market being sold as “iPad Air” on Apples website) than I expect it to be very new. I’m not gonna be surprised if it’s not new nor upset, but that’s just how the email was worded and I’m watching closely on accountability on that email

Yes, I know the new ones will be NEW. I'm talking about if we chose to buy our old ones to keep.

Gotcha, would you’d want to keep the old one?

I believe they can remotely wipe all the company apps from iPads. Like they did with the old CCI. Then you just need to remove AA Mobile Device Management profile and it’s all yours.

I might if it was the one I'm currently using. Haven't decided. Definitely not if it's just some random former EFB.

I've heard they have to be sent back first, for whatever reason, and then sent back to you. I thought this was to remove all the company stuff but maybe there's more to it.

this is what I was told last time I was down at the Mothership. It’s been a few months though, so things may have changed.

Your insider credit blitz is spot on! Just saw the HI6 for the orders beginning on the 27th.

New EFB ordering is open. Check your CCI messages for instructions, an FAQ, and order link. An order link icon was pushed to your existing EFB as well; "Order ENY iPad."

Looks like the new iPads will come with the Pivot case. So much for the landscape vs portrait holy war

Lol that’s funny!

I’ve never used the pivot case I know Delta uses them, do they not rotate to landscape or something?
