So there was a rumor floating around that PDT didn't do so well with its EFB certification with the FAA recently.

Just a rumor, we're doing just fine. The op-spec is signed, and the pre-testing has begun.

Heard they are close to phase 4. Which is final test. We were hung up with FAA over the emergency checklist for a iPad fire in cockpit. Love the logic tree for that one. Open door throw burning iPad into cabin hahahah do most carriers have those electronic bags if one begins melting itself?

The problem here is who is grabbing the burning liquid melting ipad to physically throw it in the cabin??? Use the pump handle to scoot it along the floor?

Also word is as of last Friday they are shipping... rolling out to a small group now on the line... it will expand to the whole pilot group shortly..

The table top and sim trials went just fine..

Do you guys think fast upgrades will still be around by the time the January-march classes finish sim? Any prediction for people hired around may and onwards?

Yeah Gonova hit the nail on the head. They are begging people to upgrade. I dont think that will change for a while.

At least 12 jet FOs are being bypassed from upgrading. The longest one is 2 FOs from Dec 2016 bid.

Email just went out to the pilot group informing that the EFB training portal is open. Once enough pilots complete the online training the EFB's get shipped.
Bold prediction: the April new-hires will never have to take their jepps out of the binders, except to update them.
