Luggageworks or strongbag. Aerocoast lunchbox.

Schedule is under EMB 145 training. Indoc, systems, AQP, then Sim.

Any break 4 days or longer you get positive space back home on American flights.

Training is at the American Airlines center in CLT; great instructors that take time to answer questions.

Word is Ipad Air 2 have been purchased just waiting for trial runs to be complete.

All Jet classes from now on with a couple Dash slots for those who want them.

I guess we will have access to that EMB 145 training folder after we start class on Dec 5th cause I dont see that folder.

When I was in ground school 10 months ago they told us that all of the ipads were sitting in CLT waiting to be distributed. Who knows if that is true or not.

It seems the company has a new 'reason' every month for why the ipads aren't online yet.

Until the iPad shows up at my door...I'll be expecting to get mine if/when I flow!

I thought the rumor was they were sitting in SBY? Did anyone actually go see these alleged ipads as you and them were in the same building??

Just as an FYI, when we received the iPads at PSA, they were not distributed individually by hand. They were all mailed to an address that we provided them (home, in most cases).

There was a process for picking them up from a base coordinator, but that took longer and was not the preferred method.

We had been told the same thing, that they were all sitting in the company HQ for months, but that was just a rumor. A fulfillment company had them all set up for us and they were shipped with the preloaded apps and custom setup guides for our needs.

There is a lot of junk on the iPads from AA, with a special app for all of the company and airplane documents in addition to JeppView. They was all preloaded.

Password should be the same as whatever other drive they have you access to.
