Someone please chime in if I'm wrong.
Correct. New hires must purchase an Air 2 with 32GB or better. Do not buy an Air, iPad 2,3,4 or a mini. They will not be allowed at some point. People who currently have them can continue to use them, but you shouldn't buy one now. The Air 2 can be bought for well under the $600 the company gives you. I bought mine on amazon Black Friday sale a few months back for $375.

Saying such things on public forum do a disservice to those working hard on negotiations.

I can't "respectfully" disagree with those opinions.
I disagree with your stance. I want more money, and I want our pilot group to be respected and well compensated, but wearing a lanyard isn't going to help our situation.

Continue to bully others with opinions different than yours... Whatever.

Wow. There is no helping you.

Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't make them a bully. How do you expect our pilot group to be well compensated and respected with your victim mentality and low expectations? I promise if we get a contract equivalent to what Spirit pilots now make we will be anything but respected by our peers. If the lanyard isn't enough, will you stand with your fellow pilots at the G.O. on the 19th?

Unfortunate Apple stopped selling the air 2 this week because their new iPad comes out in two days

Bullying? You have got to be kidding me. I fear for our future when people are so upset about things that are posted on APC, that they think it's bullying.

It's guys like A319 that makes me worry about this pilots group ability to get a good contract sometimes.

Fortunately I'm quite certain he's in the minority these days. It's not hard to figure out who they are on the line.

And I also apologize profusely if this post offends, upsets, or in any way butt hurts any of our members.

Interesting... Thanks guys. I got the specs I posted from an email sent to me this week about class. I think I'll take my iPad 4 to class and see what happens. I can always pick up a newer one if they force me to.

Use your iPad 4 for class, save the $600 for when you have some free time and get the new (non pro) iPad on your days off. No need to freak about it right now. Just know that you should upgrade to the new hotness once the iPad money hits the bank.
