If you check out the kitbag page on My.envoyair.com they now show a total of 3 acceptable types of iPads so something is going to happen soon. Also, I was told the automatic notification for the update was turned off to keep people from inadvertently updating their iPads before getting approval. Now we will only get the notification once the update is approved. Makes sense since I haven’t seen an update alert in a long time.

Out of base you need to send an RF request

Yeahhhhhh!!!!! We won a grievance!! Spousal surcharge grievance has been won. The amount of money per pilot that will be awarded is yet to be determined.

For those that don't know what this is.... if your spouse has a job that provides insurance and he/she is on your insurance you get to pay an extra 100$ per month.

Picked up OT, something came up and now I want to get rid of it. Obviously dropping is out of the question. If I can find someone who is legal for it and wants it I can do a "jetbridge swap" for it right? How far in advance can this take place? They'll keep the premium, right?
