I realize your take home pay won't take you home, however I would call this a necessary expense, vs. carrying four Jepp binders and a flight case.
I would say that 90% are using the IPAD. It sucks they don't pay for it but it's definitely worth having. Plus you don't have to worry about big brother watching you post defamation on APC.

The biggest part is that you DON'T HAVE TO DO ANY JEPP REVISIONS!!!!

Yes, I shouted that. lol I hated doing revisions, then I would get behind and it would take me hours.

What I meant is AA provides the IPADs but they also monitor your internet viewing habits.

So what's the status with the E175 pilot domiciles and routes? It looks like IAH is a dead cert, what about the rumored ORD 175 base?

There are so many "errors" in that story I don't know what to say.....

My favorite line in the story is the "modest" pay........

"No layoffs" love it. After 9 years I have seen this type of bull**** news article broadcasted in the valley a few times via JO. When we got the Delta flying, the new GO! Hawaiian airline and the lucrative China regional airline. And maybe 50 of those 1500 wonderful jobs will be in the valley of the sun.

The guys in initial are saying IAH and ORD. SDF is a MX base and IAD is possible, but more than likely after the first 30.

Yeah I have a friend at fedex who carries around two, one for his personal use and the company issued one. They can't download many of the apps and their internet is monitored. Or so I'm told.

After the first 30? lol there is no evidence anywhere of additional Ejets beyond the 30 that United owns and y'all are leasing. Let's see if you can staff these first.

That's surprising. I think that kind of control is difficult without jail breaking the iPad and buying some expensive software. If other airlines are anything like Mesa, that's a tall order. Our computers must comprise the entirety of IE7 traffic on the internet.
