It will be a line check item. You can't use an ancient, crap iPad.
This is news to me. What is your source? I'll bet that 95% of our pilots are using an iPad that is an older version than an Air 2.

Per FOM Vol. I, 10.70, all versions of the iPad are approved, except 1st Generation. Until that changes, any iPad 2 or later version is approved.

A friend that just had recurrent ground school. I haven't seen anything official yet either, but it makes sense. As we hit the 3 year mark, the FAA wants people replacing old ones with new ones. I guess their main concern is the battery life of old iPads.

I guess I'll look into selling my old one.

GD, doesn't anyone read more than a few pages back in this thread anymore!?!?!? Pretty much ANY basic question one can ask - such as this one - has been asked and answered at least five times.

We do! Now do your homework and go back and look for it. 95% of your questions probably could be answered without being spoon fed!

Based on what I'm reading here, if you were at a mainline owned regional carrier making decent money (read 60Kish) as a first year FO, looking at 3-6 months to upgrade, making the move to F9 really doesn't get you much, unless F9 happens to be the place you want to work long term?

Or am I reading it wrong?

You are reading it right. Don't forget the 24k training contract you get the privilege of signing.

Spot on. I am a little past one year at F9. I left here from regional left seat. I am still catching up to what I would have been making the regional, and it this rate it will take me several years. The management here does not care about making this a place people want to work, in fact they are determined to pinch pennies and everything is getting worse- from trip productivity to layover hotels.

Morale is incredibly low for everyone from flight crews to our outsourced gate agents and ground crew who are forced to do more and more with less and less resources. Employees and passengers alike are suffering due to the greed and short sightedness of our management, amid record profits.

It would be one thing IF this airline was well run but it isn't. The new NEO's deliveries we were supposed to be getting are delayed due to the MX program not being approved for them. On that note the mechanics are also trying to get a fair contract and being squeezed to the bone by management. They care nothing of good labor relations. Keep that in mind when looking at F9.
