Yes, they do. As stated previously, the model you get is personal preference. I would suggest getting as much memory as you can afford.

 

They do.

A slight twist is that the reimbursement is included as taxable income. In the long run, if you itemize it'll all come out in the wash. You pay tax on the reimbursement, but you deduct the cost of the iPad. This means you'll wind up getting the full reimbursement, but not really until after you file your taxes.

If you don't itemize, you won't deduct the cost of the iPad so you'll lose whatever taxes you pay on the reimbursement.

I already owned my iPad so I just kept the money with the understanding that if my iPad becomes obsolete before the next reimbursement, I'm responsible for buying a new iPad.

I've got my personal stuff combined with my Company stuff on a single iPad. I'm thinking on the next go-round I'll buy and maintain a separate iPad purely for Company business. I'll charge the battery and then just leave it in my suitcase. I'll pull it out when I get to the crew room to do any updates. I'm starting to resent the frequent admonitions to NOT rely on Company or hotel provided WiFi for updates. Seems like something they should be fixing instead of offloading on me to do with my home WiFi on my personal time.

 

Strike 1 & 2... Frontier, by definition is a major airline. It is NOT a legacy carrier. There are only three legacies left, but the DOT defines a major as $1 billion in annual sales.

 

Alaska and Hawaiian are also legacy carriers.

 

And so is Republic. What's the point? He made an error in his explanation on an an anonymous message board? I think he meant Legacy.

The group who are told to reapply in six months are those the interviewers believe- for whatever reason- will jump ship for greener pastures at their earliest opportunity. Reapply in six if you're still interested.

 

That was extremely helpful! Thanks!

 

Thank you for an actual thought out response F9! See you in 6 months!

 

Actually, to arm chair quarterback a little, (no offence intended - I could be wrong), I wonder if mentioning QOL as a reason for not leaving for a legacy wouldn't be viewed negatively in just about every respect by everyone on the panel these days.

Believe me - ALL I care about is QOL! My pay is a distant second. But to 'hard chargers' I'm certain QOL is viewed as a life sucking drain on the bottom line.

And on the other side of the coin, especially with all the changes: Flying tons of redeyes, Denver downsizing, east-coast ops, decreased efficiency, less days off etc. I think juxtaposing F9 with a Legacy and using QOL as the defining factor could come off as a little tone deaf to the good hearted line pilot sitting on your panel.

I personally wouldn't go near that term in an interview but that's just me.
