Agreed. I jump on Ejets with Envoy and their layout is pretty cool. Except they are too cheap for auto brakes.

I would rather have company provided iPads, mounts, iPad power source, Jepp charts with ownship, D-ATIS, and PDC over auto brakes. This plane will stop perfectly fine using manual braking and TRs. I bet 90% of that guys here turn them on in the approach check and soon as the plane is on the runway..”AUTOBRAKE AUTOBRAKE”. WTF is the point??

And, I agree that 90% of our pilots don’t know how to use them effectively.

Mesa evidently can’t afford or is too cheap to use Jepp charts, so D-ATIS and PDC are probably way way off the table. I don’t foresee us having all 60 EJETs by this time next year anyway.

If we start losing the first thirty Ejets at a rate of 2 per month in June as the contract calls for, how long before Ejet upgrades stop? Or, United may let the Ejets renew for 2 years per the contract.

The company supplied mounts that I have seen in the Ejet are permanently mounted where the permanent iPad mount normally goes. And, if you are worried about your activity being monitored, I would worry about you and your family should you be involved in an incident.

I also refuse to have company email on my phone.
