I'm not aware of any regional that issues tablet devices of any kind to their pilots. I know for a fact that Envoy pilots have to supply their own if they want to go digital.
And if it's a choice between supplying my own ipad and wasting hours and hours doing paper revisions--for no pay--I'll supply my own ipad and watch por...er, Netflix...while you're doing your paper revisions.

Yes they do expect you in base the next day if you do not say otherwise. If you did not bid for the first few days off of the next bid then you can call crew line adj. and ask for a few days off. They give you 3-5 based on how far your move is. Usually it is just 3. HOWEVER, you will lose 3 hours (or maybe it was 3.9) of pay for each day you take from your min. guarantee as it is not days off, but rather days absent. Best to not take more then you absolutely need. We do not have move days in our contract so you lose pay when you ask for days off (absent) for a move.

Besides, it saves my back from hauling around all those jepps and I had to pay for a flight case for them also. Now I don't. I already had an Ipad for personal use so it is win win for me. It is still optional for me so I could opt out, but why? If Jepp does away with paper then Mesa won't have a choice but to buy us them at that point because they can't force us currently under our contract. Only the new hires unfortunately. One great thing I love is no more Jepp updates taking me hours to do. Time I put a price on as well.
Best part of having my own Ipad is I am not being monitored by MESA!

*** Mesa!
I want you to give me one so you can monitor everything I do on it, restrict apps and require me to pay you for it when I leave!! Also I want to have to carry around 2 ipads for personal use. Jeez! My job sucks. You can take this 18 month upgrade and shove it!!!!!!!

we are so lucky here at envoy, they allow us to pay for the ipad, the mount, the battery charger and the good reader. We should give back more to parker to pay his bar tab.
